good evening. typhoon coming soon. yeah, just checked the forecast and something is brewing down there near the philippines. maybe the biggest of the season? stay tuned because next week, the waves will be going off somewhere in japan. and that somewhere, i’ll be. until then, going to enjoy my okinawan life. surf/dive/have fun. have a great evening….
what’s up jasmine!! wanted to thank you for sending me this photo from your barbecue. had a blast and can’t wait to do it again. tell everybody from the dental clinic i said hello. take care…
wanted to congratulate kelia on her 2nd place finish in the roxy jam longboard division at queen’s. good job sis… also wanted to congratulate shun murakami for making the finals for the all japan amateur contest in fukushima. and also to dove rider kaito ohashi for winning the junior division. good job boys….
kimura-san and atsuko-san left back to wakayama the other day. this was the moment that made me think. made me think about the friends i have and made me think how caring and respectful people can be. we were at the airport which is like an hour away from our hotel. there’s busses, taxi’s, and many ways to get there. but not in okinawa. if your a close friend of the locals here, you get treated with the upmost respect and get vip treatment. everybody dropped everything they were doing and headed to the airport to say their bye bye’s. things like this brings tears to my eyes. happy tears. gosh, i feel so welcomed here that i don’t want to leave. and at this pace, i don’t think i will ever leave… haha… but just wanted to take this time to thank kazubo-san family, mago-san, jun-san, satoru-san, takahashi-san, kimura-san, kinsan, kara-san, sato-san, taizo, tadasuke, the staff at the beach, hokulea, island message, hard reef, and too everybody thats made me feel so welcomed here. i will never forget the way you guys have been treating me.. i really really appreciate it….. much mahalo….
