The great thing about traveling is you experience the local lifestyle. Just keep on walking and walking and you will enter side streets. Sometimes a little scary but you just have to be vigilant. Keep your phone in your pocket, don’t wear expensive jewelry, and just try to blend in. Most places I go, everybody’s trying to speak to me in the Filipino language. That means I’m doing a good job blending in. Haha. If I had blonde hair and blue eyes, I’d never enter the dark streets late a night.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday are my normal walking days in Hawaii. I’ll be lucky to take 200 steps. Saturday I was walking mostly through airports. Sunday was my first full day in the Philippines. 17,402 step is my lifetime record for a day.
Knowing you can find a 90 minute massage everywhere you go helps. At just $15, you can get one everyday. Then get ready for many more steps to come. 
Enough airplanes and transits for me. I don’t want to go anywhere anytime soon. 
I had a great trip but the only stress I had was getting stuck in Guam.
Here is Kimura-san years ago surfing his favorite spot Medewi. Speaking about Medewi, I just read an article that the Medewi locals made a new rule. They no longer allow beginners in the lineup unless you’re with a surf guide. That’s a great idea! So now you have Cloud 9 in the Philippines, and Medewi in Indonesia. Where’s next?
