Backpack the world!
I’m so excited.
I’m so happy.
My long journey begins now!

get ready next week for the new iphone 5s. it’s the first time i’m so excited to get an iphone because i’m still on the 4s and i deserve an upgrade!

ok, remember the bike that fell on the truck? well, i had to use my insurance to pay for it. i took it in for an estimate and it will cost $925 in damages. that’s the good news, the bad news is i have absolutely no time to take it in to get it fixed! i really need another kirby.

when i was there, i seen my friends mini cooper smashed up. omg! Susan, are you ok?

we were eating poke bowl at kapahulu and met these 2 girls from japan. Saya and Sato were eating poke bowl for the first time, then wanted to eat shave ice at some place near ala moana. i told them there is a better place right around the corner. they jumped in the truck and we all had waiola shave ice! yes, i still pick up strangers. ever since 20 years ago when total strangers in japan helped me get around made me realize that sharing cultures is a great thing. strangers in japan still help me till this day, and i still help them too. welcome to hawaii Saya and Sato!

and look at this stranger in waikiki? topless? no, i would not pick up this kind of stranger.

politics in taiwan is very interesting. they seem to always be getting into fights.

if i were a taiwanese politician, i would take kung fu and beat up the whole house. bruce lee style! haha.

well, going to the airport. hope to get some waves where ever i end up surfing. if i do, great, if not, great too. i’m just excited for the experience! i’ve never chased a typhoon from taiwan before so this will be fun. my dream session is to surf taiwan, okinawa, ishigaki, shikoku, wakayama, shizuoka, and shonan. then fly out of narita next week. wish me luck!
