“Sewage spill now estimated at 500,000 gallons; Visitors urged to stay out of Waikiki water!”
this was the headlines on the news last night before i went to sleep.

omg, i was watching the news and couldn’t believe it! i drove by ala moana and knew about the sewage spill but didn’t realize how much actually spilt. over 500,000 gallons or 1,892,706 liters of raw sewage overflowed into the streets and ocean. all the poop water coming out of the streets at ala moana shopping center. it was stink, and it was disgusting!

ala moana beach park looked like a big toilet!

and all that sewage was spilling right into the ocean. i saw this with my own eyes and i couldn’t believe it.

and i saw people swimming and surfing yesterday at ala moana and waikiki. the tourist didn’t know about it. i felt so sorry for them.

they even closed ala moana beach park because they had to disinfect the sidewalks too. the whole place was stinky! when i drove through, i seen some of my friends surfing there! unbelievable!

by the evening, the news finally went around. only had a few people swimming in the public toilet.

and get this!!!! even more sewage spills around the island!!! luckily i went to a very clean and safe place yesterday.

and here is the weather for the rest of the week. more rain, more sewage spills, and more disaster. now i really hope to get the next flight out of here.
for those of you who surfed yesterday, please shower good. and please stay out of the water for the next few days from waikiki to kakaako. it takes 3-4 days for the currents, waves, and winds to wash all this sewage away. it’s not worth any wave to take a chance of getting sick.

BEACHES CLOSED: WAIKIKI AND ALA MOANA!
Good morning 4:45am.
Chest high South swell. Bumpy conditions.
No wind.
Clouds, rain, some sun, and very warm.
Going surfing then airplane ride!
Have a wonderful day!

after last nights heavy rain, i knew the water was going to be super dirty. it hasn’t rained for a while in hawaii so we needed to wash our islands clean. from the mountains, to the valleys, to the streets, to the ocean. everything and anything into the ocean. yuck!

as i was walking near ala moana, i could smell something stinky too. OMG, sewer leak! like always, we have sewage overflow when it rains like this. the pipes get backed up and the poop has nowhere else to go but into the streets and ocean. ala moana beach park was a stinky mess today. i hope none of you went into the ocean.

if you surfed at ala moana today, this is what entered your mouth. omg!

i took a 30 minute drive to find clean water and good waves. found it and guess what? nobody was out!

and even though it was so cloudy today, it was so beautiful too!

i have a chinese friend that works at a chinese restaurant. so sometimes i take him a few fish and he gives me fried noodles. free for free. he’s happy, i’m happy, and everybody is happy.

went to the HIS office today to pick up a rail pass. one week unlimited rides on any train for $220. don’t be surprised if you see me one day in hokkaido and the next in miyazaki. i love riding trains because it’s so beautiful and i have some good quality relaxing time.

going to Tohoku this weekend to see my wonderful friends. can’t wait!

last, want to thank Yoko-san for the japanese gift! great surfing the other day!
