after traveling for so many years in japan, i still get amazed by the transportation system. so efficient, on time, and very clean. it makes me worry so much about the rail system being built in hawaii right now. being the hawaiian time style of living, i really don’t think it will work.
Matsu and i got a train back from kyoto to yokohama. had lunch at this tantanmen restaurant in the station. omg, my mouth was on fire!!! i had to go eat ice cream after this and everything became all right.
it was really good, but it was really spicy.
a big article on hawaii came out on the surfing mag web. went through the photos and was super stoked to see the kids! Seth Moniz in flight. photo: Noyle

and lucky me getting my best photo by far ever on the south shore of hawaii. my best photo by the best water photographer in the world. can’t wait to get back home and get more barrels like this. photo: Noyle
thought i’d check the international news this morning. big volcano eruption in indonesia. lucky i didn’t choose to climb that one.
396 people dead and counting. when traveling in countries like this, you better have an escape plan. every time i board a ferry, i always look for a way out in case something happens. because in countries like china, you are on your own. don’t expect anyone to help you in emergency situations.
well, got up at 4:30am. listening to relaxing music, now getting ready to go back to my home in hawaii. another fast trip, but a very great one. the more i come to japan and spend time with friends, the more i love it. a country that will fascinate and make me happy for the rest of my life. thank you and sayonara to all my friends. see you again soon.
