good evening. first, my softbank mail service is acting up so i can’t post blogs from my cel. phone. or sometimes it just posts them all at once. weird? anyway, it’s day 4 of day 6 and it seems like day 100 or something. so many things have been happening that i can’t keep up.
our dinner 2 nights ago at ushio’s in wakayama was pretty awesome. to be able to eat the fish you caught earlier in the day is pretty cool. and the oysters were the best! milky wakayama huge oysters!!! thanks master!!!
we kicked off early in the morning to have a fun day in osaka. the excitement was just crazy. from surfing endless waves in the river, to eating the best kushikatsu in the world, to almost having my finger cut off by angry yakuza’s, to the drive to kyoto, was just pure excitement. it was a day i will never forget, and i think everybody else who was there thinks the same way.
taizo harada has been a friend of mine since i first came to japan. we went on many trips in japan together and have some pretty crazy and funny stories along the way. he was our osaka surf guide for the day and none of us were let down….
our captains name was sato-san. he is my hero! why? don’t ask. just let me say this. “if sato-san wasn’t our car driver in osaka, i would be less one camera, and one less finger. i’ll leave it at that….
if i ever live in japan, i’m going to have a room like this. when i’m in a chair, i feel like a samurai. and it feels dam good! happy times in wakayama! thanks to yamari and the kimura-san family!!
i’ve knew kinsan for 20 years and i’ve never ever seen him stand up on a surfboard. yesterday was history in the surfing culture! kinsan surfing!!! i was stoked and i think he was too, just look at his face. haha… wait till you see the video we have. haha…
