been having so much fun here in taiwan meeting friends, making new friends, surfing, drinking, eating, eating, and eating. stayed with hawaii local boy Keith and Kiki at their brand new guest house. very clean, very cheap, and very relaxing.
if you ever head to south taiwan, contact Keith by checking out his website: http://waveriderhouse.com
the rooms are spacious, clean, and very peaceful. i slept like a baby until i heard Kimura-san snoring next to me. haha. Keith, congratulations on your new awesome guest house. i love it!
there is a very interesting night market a 10 minute walk away from Keith’s place. locals only, good food, cheap shopping, and lots of people.
i rather buy things the old fashion way then buying things at costco. i bet hawaii use to be like this a hundred years ago.
2X world champion Kelia Moniz still advancing at the contest in china. it would be great for her to bring home the world title again! Go-Kelia!
Kimura-san from Kobochihama has always been an inspiration to me. i think about him all the time ever since we met after 3/11. when i have my bad days, i think about his smile and it brings me right back up. when i went to visit him this past summer, he was telling me about his new boat. it was then in the making, and now it’s finished. i hope he named it “The Last Samurai.” Kimura-san, congratulations on your new boat! i’m so happy for you and i’m so excited to see you driving it with your big smile. hope to see you someday soon.”
well, back to taiwan. 5am and going surfing. surfed 2 rounds yesterday, ate too much delicious food, met new friends, picked up Hayato from the airport, and we have 3 more days to enjoy this wonderful place called Taiwan!
