the whole time in japan, we were pretty much wearing slippers. it’s august so supposed to be really hot beach weather? not this year. it was super cold and super raining. my slippers on the left, and Miwa-san’s slippers on the right. small difference? haha.

once again, want to thank our We Are One team for the wonderful time in tohoku. isn’t it so amazing on all the progress guys? we’ve been there through the saddest times ever, and to see things improving gradually and see the happy smiles glowing even more, it’s such a great thing to experience first hand. it’s always a happy drive home.

our saturday night fever in ishinomaki was wonderful. our group getting bigger, better, and happier. it’s incredible how karaoke and friends mixed together can bring out the best of everyone. a night to remember! want to thank our friends, especially Naomi-san and Azumi-san. we’ve only known each other for 4.5 years but it seems like we’ve been friends forever.

i got back to tokyo late and just hit the wall. so tired i didn’t even want to take another step anywhere. was so stoked to find a big nice tub in my room. thank you Miwa-san for finding me such a great room to relax in.

have you ever lied down on a bed and got stuck? i mean, my mind wanted to get back up but my body was glued to my bed. Unizo Hotel in Ginza for 8800 or $72/night. the best unagi restaurant on one side, and the best ramen restaurant on the other side. the perfect place i’ll stay at again for sure.
