Right now in the amazing sea!

was so stoked to watch my nephew’s heat yesterday. Joshua Moniz is making hawaii so proud. he and Seth are competing in the ASP World Junior contest in Portugal. massive floater that he made! he actually got 2 solid scores of 9.37 and 9.00 in this heat. unbeatable!

you’re a good kid Joshua. i’m so proud of you and how you represent hawaii so well. bring us home the world champion kid!

did some walking around the narrow streets of Ueno. pretty cool.

then i seen a little shop that had my favorite: tonsoku or pigs feet! i love it! so i ordered it and sucked it all up. the funny thing is it was still 9am in the morning. haha.

then i washed down the pigs feet with reimen. pretty dam good.

japan tako is so soft compared to hawaiian tako. and much cheaper too.

i love this shrimp! but after the last 2 times i ate it, my stomach hurt so bad. so i just pass it by.

this was the little stand i ate the pigs feet and reimen early that morning. cool yeah?

the flavors of japan.
i couldn’t believe how many tourists i seen in tokyo this trip. i think tourism in japan is booming because more and more are in the streets. lots of chinese and koreans too. great for the japanese economy. ganbare japan!
