and i saw people swimming and surfing yesterday at ala moana and waikiki. the tourist didn’t know about it. i felt so sorry for them.

they even closed ala moana beach park because they had to disinfect the sidewalks too. the whole place was stinky! when i drove through, i seen some of my friends surfing there! unbelievable!

and here is the weather for the rest of the week. more rain, more sewage spills, and more disaster. now i really hope to get the next flight out of here.
for those of you who surfed yesterday, please shower good. and please stay out of the water for the next few days from waikiki to kakaako. it takes 3-4 days for the currents, waves, and winds to wash all this sewage away. it’s not worth any wave to take a chance of getting sick.
