Free Dive Sumatra: No Reservations…

281

want to thank Ishikawa-san for my next dinner over rice.

this world is getting sad. everybody, please throw away your trash…

one a dark afternoon, Matsu, Chifumi-san, and i chartered a small Indonesian boat to go for a dive. we all took our spearfishing gear so were looking forward to catching some sashimi. we were out for hours covering so much area, but i couldn’t even find a fish???

our driver was looking at us like we were crazy. i would think so too.

the only fish that was was swimming around that day crossed paths with Chifumi-san. so yes, she speared the only fish. as for Matsu and i, all we got were jelly fish bites all over our bodies. haha. so if you want to know how the spearfishing is in South Sumatra, i would tell you “forget diving, just surf.”

i was pretty shocked when i found out Anthony Bourdain committed suicide. about 10 years ago, this guy inspired me to travel the world. yeah, i was already traveling the world, but he inspired me to travel the world in a different way. to try everything, to eat everything, to communicate with locals, and to go with the flow. so during each and every surf trip, i would break away from the group, walk around alone, take my camera, and film the real life. my videos were nothing like Anthony Bourain’s, but my experiences were fascinating. i saw the world in a whole different way. here is one of those days i broke away from the group to experience this wonderful world. thank you Anthony Bourdain for inspiring me to explore this wonderful world!
