good evening. the fishing festival today at pier 38 was awesome. i went down last year at 10am and found parking right in front. today, i went down at 9am and the parking lot of full. i had to park in costco across the street. it was a far walk but i was pretty stoked to see so many fishermen and kids having a great time. about my hand, it’s still swollen and hurting more than yesterday. i met so many friends today and when i shook their hand, i was in pain each time. everybody, PLEASE DON’T SHAKE MY HAND.. it hurts so bad!!!

this is my favorite part of the event. the fish auction block. i wish i had my sashimi knife with me. i would have cut out a piece of this tuna when nobody was looking. haha…

check out the reef fish section. steamed fish? sashimi? deep fry? nitsuke? ALL GOOD!!!!

there was a stage with so many things going on. this was my favorite. i thought i was in okinawa or something….

it even snowed in hawaii today. i got my shovel and made a snowman… hey, just joking….
**last, here is the recent ratings for my last video i posted. i’m pretty stoked!!!

when i was in japan this past time, i watched the 30th anniversary Southern All Stars concert. after all these years of listening to their music, i finally saw their faces. i watched the concert on a big screen tv and i got so into it that i thought i was there too. their music is so amazing and i couldn’t believe how many people were at the concert standing and singing in the rain. it’s amazing how music reaches out to people and creates such a positive vibe.
when i first arrived in japan, a popular drama called “Zutto Anata ga Suki Datta” was playing every thursday night and most of japan would be glued to a tv watching it. even though i didn’t understand what the heck was going on, i got hooked too. all i remember was the crazy fuihiko-san and butterflies. anyway, the dramas theme song was a song called “Namida no Kiss” by the Southern All Stars. that song turned out to be one of my all time favorite songs and i even memorized the words, even though i didn’t know what it meant. a great song and a great drama…. here is Namida no Kiss….
