ok, finally got a chance to sit in front of my computer. been super busy here. why? i don’t know. just too many friends and too many things to do. another typhoon is heading this way and i’m confused! should i stay or should i go? i have work back in hawaii waiting for me and with this perfect typhoon heading this way, i hope i don’t get stuck here because it’s happened many times before. we will just have to wait and see.

starting off with the tahitian dancers. every time i see tahitian dancing, i wonder to myself how the heck do they shake their asses so fast? and i also wonder what would happen if the coconut tops fell off? super sexy costumes and super sexy dancing. tahiti in okinawa.

these 3 girls stole the show. they call them Yogore and consist of misa, mayumi, and pigu. these girls were awesome! probably the best entertaining show i’ve ever seen in japan. good singing, good music, and good fun. wait till you see the video i took. i hope they can make it to hawaii and perform for my friends someday. it will be a dream come true for everybody.

i don’t think i’ve ever seen atsuko-san, kimura-san, and kinsan this happy in my life. these 3 people are one of the main links in my whole friends network. i don’t need facebook because i have these 3 people that connected me to japan and the rest of the world. and to see them this happy was a great moment for me. i will never forget this night.

kazubo-san is an entertainer. i don’t know anyone in the world that can drink a beer faster than him. then another one, and another one. he’s always the last one standing. kazubo-san has the most aloha spirit i’ve felt in a person. always welcoming, always smiling, and always looking after everybody. a true representation of a true place called okinawa.
