what was i doing in vegas? i was relaxing. the weather was perfect, the
pool was inviting, and i hate gambling so i tried to stay away from the
casinos. we ate lunch in a bungalow along the pool side and i just
needed a photo of this for my memory. thank you yuki-san for this
fisheye photo of a lazy guy enjoying his life! haha.
i just got back from eating at Shin Izakaya on King Street. if you live
in hawaii or visit hawaii, you should go there. the yakitori is the best
in hawaii and the new spicy tuna rolls are awesome!

Welcome to Shin!
You should try here.

the Bellagio hotel is on of the most famous hotels in Las Vegas. and to be a VIP there makes the stay even better. great service everywhere you go, especially on the top floor.

the first 2 times i went to Vegas, i had to watch the water show from the street. this time, i seen it from my room. pretty cool rainbow. see it?

then of course there are 5 pools. eggs benedict tasted pretty good.

then the carviar? OMG! that little small plate cost more than a regular round trip ticket to vegas. it was my first time of eating luxury caviar and to tell you the truth, i don’t know the difference of good caviar or cheap caviar.

going to watch the phantom of the opera was pretty cool. it’s amazing how this opera has been going on for 26 years strong.

once again, i want to thank Inaida-san and Yuki-san for such a great trip. this past year of traveling in a totally different world way has taught me a lot. now i can really say that i’ve experienced almost everything a little boy can dream of. and as i was putting my surfboards in the jet on the way home, i was wondering if this jet could fit in my garage. haha. one day i will be traveling around the world with my surfboard chasing waves with this jet. wanna come? remember, i’m a big dreamer and all of my dreams come true! i still slap myself in the face from time to time to see if i’m living in a dream. today, we go back to our normal life of surfing and having fun. i can’t wait!
