had another amazing day! i’m starting to sound like a broken record, but i really had another amazing day!
went surfing early this morning with Asayama-san. waves were much bigger and so much fun! i was the best in months!
i taught Asayama-san how to pace himself. there is absolutely no rush when you surf with me so if you want to go, you go! and when you want to rest, you rest. but mostly, you go! haha.
went shopping after for an hour. stopped by Dan’s Guitars. the best place to buy a ukulele!
then we went to Bac Nam. the best place to buy chicken long rice soup.
another lunch, another conversation. gosh, we have so much fun. i’m sure people around us must get mad because we laugh so loud. LOL!
then it was mental training time, so we boarded Mayuki and headed to the mental training center.
first, jump in, take deep breaths, relax, and enjoy the coolest place in the world. one easy way to do that is to swim peacefully with the turtles. if the turtle swims right along with you, you are relaxed. if the turtle gets scared and swims away with you, you are not relaxed. that’s how you know because turtles don’t lie.
in the beginning, the turtles were running away from Asayama-san. haha. then i gave him my spear and said “go catch some fish!” he looked at me and said “cannot.” i said, “never say never!”
a few hours later and hundreds of tries, Asayama-san finally speared his first fish of his life. you should have seen how happy he was!
photo from Nao-san when she went to see the christmas lights last night. hey Nao-san, we really miss you a a lot. today wasn’t the same without you. hope you had a safe trip back to japan.
