i jumped into a cab yesterday in tokyo and guess what the taxi driver asked me? “hey, are you from Taiwan?” what? that’s the first time. usually people think i’m from the philippines.
i’m getting to know my way around tokyo. kind of a cool city that sleeps millions. oh, check out my designer bag on the taxi seat.
no, i’m not homeless. this is the way i carry things around with me. just stick my stuff in a plastic bag and i’m ready to go out into the town. haha.
a hundred dollar breakfast? yeah, this is inaida-san style breakfast.
last night was pretty fun as far as i can remember. if you saw what i ate and drank, you would kill me. haha. ginza night!
jiro-san is a cool fisherman. he takes me out when ever i’m in wakayama. after we dove this day, he opened his fish box and showed me what he caught earlier that morning.
then he took out his net and filled up a bucket. this is hamachi!
after he filled it up, he said “here you go.” wow! fresh sashimi for the night! super nice fishermen. thank you jiro-san.
then we went back to yamari and another local fisherman came over and gave us some fish. gosh, the people in wakayama are so nice!
sawara or ono! we took all this fish along with the oysters we caught to ushio restaurant that night and had a fresh fisherman dinner with some cold draft beers.
here’s the master with a 100 kilo wild boar he caught. huge monster!
then he cooked us some wild boar sukiyaki. it was so good!
another surfer/fisherman earlier that day gave us this fish too. i don’t know what it’s called but it was super good!
well, i’m going to eat some sushi tonight and get on my airplane. hopefully i’ll get lucky and get a business class flat bed seat. i had a great time here in japan and once again, i want to thank everybody that made this trip so special. see you back in hawaii. sayonara
