imagine coming to hawaii for the first time. it’s your honeymoon, you’re happy, and it’s the start of your new life together. you surf the best waves, and you get to experience pure nature. i’m sure Yuki-san and Ayumi-san will cherish their wedding photos, but i’m sure they will cherish this one too. i love it!

my little snorkeling spot never lets me down. lots of fish, and very friendly turtles. and sometimes a shark or two.

people dream about swimming with turtles. it’s been my dream ever since my grandma read me the book Urashimaya Taro when i was a kid. my dreams are fulfilled, and i like to make others dreams come true too.

nobody believes how big this piece of prime rib is. it will cost over $100 for a much smaller piece at wolfgang’s, but only $16 here. and to me, it tastes better here.

it’s super juicy and super tender. Yuki-san and my plate came first so we started eating. Ayumi-san’s came after. but guess who finished first? yes, Ayumi-san. haha. she ate it all! i couldn’t believe it!!!

last, here is my favorite reef. i swim here all the time and found a cool heart shape hole in the reef. can you see it? and now that my friend swam by when i was checking out the heart, i got the coolest photo. things like this you will never see anywhere else in the world. it’s in my back yard and only i can take you there. but you will have to keep it a secret!
