this world is going absolutely crazy! both in nature, and also in the markets.
check out this photographer running away from an volcano eruption in sumarta, indonesia. hey, i was just there?
and a tidal wave or tsunami in china? china?
and right in our back yard, nothing stands in the way of Madam Pele’s path.
and this is the biggest news from yesterday. the yen/dollar rate went up to 114 yen per $1 usd. OMG! well, i’m not too surprised because when it went down to 75 yen/dollar back in 2011, i knew it was going to turn around and go back up. it’s the 2nd time in the past 20 years. what next? to tell you the truth, i have no idea. but if the yen ever goes back to 75 yen/dollar, i’m going to borrow $5 million worth of yen, buy dollars, wait till it goes back up to 115 yen/dollar, cash in my $1.7 million dollar earnings, retire, and live a dream life. sounds like a great plan right?
to all of you who invested lots of yen into dollars back in 2011, a big congratulations on your investment! you are very smart and very rich now!!!
Crazy Markets and Crazy World!

Anti-Nuisance Ordinance
the traffic in hawaii has been super crazy. more housing being built but no new roads. i use to get frustrated but not anymore, especially when there is a huge rainbow following me home.
found these in my collection too. i love beetles!
ok, i was trying to find the setting to turn off the shutter sound on my camera. all my old iphones had the setting so i usually turned it off. but for some reason, i couldn’t find it on my iphone that was purchased in japan. why? after some researching, i found out that any shutter sound on any japanese phone can’t be turned off. it’s a law. really? yes, really. i found out that the shutter is loud and noisy for a reason. the reason is to let people know you’re taking photos of them. i also found out that there is a law called “Anti-Nuisance Ordinance” that will put you in jail for taking a photo of a woman without her permission. naked? up the skirt? no, any photo taken of any woman without their permission can put you in jail.
even for the guy who took this photo, he can go to jail. here is the law: The law states that it doesn’t matter what you are taking a picture of, if the woman being photographed is made to feel uncomfortable or starts feeling anxious, you are liable to be arrested. Even so much as pointing a camera in the victim’s direction without taking a picture is grounds for arrest.
i think that’s crazy!!! if people take photos up girls skirts or something, then i can understand him going to jail. but for just any photo? overboard.
now this guy should go to jail for sure. what an idiot!
so now that my japanese iphone will make a loud noise when taking photos, i better be careful because i take a lot of photos. and if any fully clothed girl is in any of them, i could go to jail. scary!
