just by walking around on the streets in japan, you can see some cool things. take this bar for example. standing bars are pretty popular in japan. so many popping up everywhere these days. for me, i don’t like it because i want to sit down and relax after a long day. anyway, look closely and see something strange?

see the guy who had too many beers sitting on the ground? poor guy.

ended up going to a quite place, had a seat, and enjoyed some food i love to eat. raw chicken liver and raw chicken breast! omg, i love it! and the cold draft beers go down pretty smooth after a long flight.

i wish we had this back in hawaii. i’d be eating it everyday! dip the liver into sesame oil with some salt, then have it melt in your mouth. wash it down with a cold beer and you’re in heaven.

good morning. 4:40am and jet lagged. oh boy!

on the way to the airport, i stopped by to get a Hepatitis A shot. it’s good for 25 years so why not? a scary disease that is invisible to the eye. hundreds of people getting infected in hawaii and many more to come. if you didn’t get yours, you should. and yes, i hate getting shots. more scary than a 40′ wave. haha.

summer vacation is in full swing. all flights are fully booked so i just went with the flow. seen some people getting stuck at the airport but i was freaking super lucky to get the very last seat on the airplane! and more lucky because it was the best seat!

leaving hawaii is always cool. cool because i know it will always be the same when i get back.

even though i was super sunburnt, i felt like jumping out of the airplane into the deep blue sea.

watched 3 movies, listened to music, and took 2 long naps. arrived in japan 8 hours later. got off the plane and i felt like i walked into a sauna. omg, it’s so hot and humid over here!!!

My late night happy meal!
