We Are One!

omg, another storm heading to hawaii? more wind, more rain, and more sewage spills. el nino continues!

japan transportation system continues to fascinates me. the best in the world!

i was watching the JR staff go into the train and clean it up. super efficient and super hard workers. it makes me wonder what will happen when our monorail system in hawaii is up an running. a pretty scary thought.

Kiku-chan took us to a beautiful place in sendai. a small shop that was very cozy and comfortable.

super old japanese style. wish we had one of these in hawaii.

1000 yen for a beer and pupu’s. every time you order a beer, you get a side dish with it. super authentic.

then our second stop was beef tongue of course! so juicy and delicious!

then my favorite, pig feet!

we had such a great time and talk. Miwa-san, Kiku-chan, and Matsu. Kiku-chan continues to inspire me. a very positive and very happy person. we ended up laughing so loud that the staff came and told us to keep the volume down. that we couldn’t do so we took our party somewhere else.

late night drinks and laughs. thank you Kiku-chan for your hospitality in sendai. keep on living life to the fullest! can’t wait to see you again!

last, the big news from the surfing industry in japan! Shun Murakami is the JPSA All Japan Champion! yesterday, Shun wins the biggest pro contest of the year! congratulations kid! thank you Takami-san for the wonderful news and photo! missing all my wonderful friends in chiba!

Another wonderful life in this world. Welcome little boy!
