yesterday, i was looking through some of my old photos and came across this one. my favorite sushi restaurant in the world. my mouth started watering and was craving some good sushi. well, i’m not in tokyo so i ask a friend where’s a good restaurant in hawaii. she told me “Sushi ii.”

i make last minute reservations and decided to treat myself to an awesome dinner. started off with some orion beer! made me remember okinawa.

so i order the sushi special that cost $42. five years ago, i would have been totally satisfied. but after going to japan so often eating the best sushi in the world, i realized my tastebuds have changed. from now on, i’d rather wait to go to japan. i told my friend i wasn’t satisfied. guess what she told me? “YOU’RE SPOILED!”

i got a text from my sister saying that Kelia’s surfing now. so i started watching it live! she ended up winning but not after i was yelling in the quiet restaurant. haha.
