japan is very safe so it’s ok to leave your door unlocked, and leave your valuables like this displayed in your car. BUT, in hawaii, this is not a great idea. you have a bag, sunglasses, and an iPhone that can be stolen in 10 seconds. all it takes is a rock through the glass, and everything will be gone.
i explained it to Ray-kun when we were at diamond head. then when we went to sandy beach, he did the same thing. i guess it’s hard to break a habit from trust to not trusting people. luckily nobody threw a rock through my window.
an iPhone to a burglar is like fast cash. many of my friends stuff get stolen like this, and i don’t want it to happen to anyone else. so if you come surf with me, please hide your valuables. thank you.
this is my next goal to do when i’m surfing a wave. i know it will be super hard and dangerous, but i’m going to do it anyway.

diamond head with Aoi.
now that President Obama left, Kailua is back to normal. i’m going to drive Mayuki around to this side of the island someday and spend a week in the emerald ocean. surf, dive, eat, drink, and sleep. a different kind of vacation!
