good evening. wow, scored today. got to go diving with real fishermen on a real fishing boat. the kind of stuff you only see on “soko ga shiritai”. check out some photos…

getting everything ready for a dive…. shit, i was so excited….

over 100lbs of oysters or “iwakaki”….

after we got back, waka-san cracked open some fresh live oysters….

they say that the oysters in wakayama are the best in japan. i totally agree. no need shoyu or anything……

got some fish too. the black striped fish is called “ishidai”. these fish eat “uni” for food so you can imagine how good the meat taste…

k-san, kinsan, and i went to drop off the fish, lobsters, oysters, and sazai to the sushi restaurant where were going to eat dinner tonight. i’m out of here. let you know how it tasted tomorrow… goodnight….

one last pic from last night…. we went to 3 places and had a great time. more photos coming later…..

good morning. came to wakayama yesterday and am staying at k-san’s house in isounoura. surfed right out in front. well, tried to surf. the waves were knee high and weak. i stood up for 2 seconds and came in. i got to start practicing my small wave surfing. i totally forgot how. had an awesome dinner last night and a fun time after. well, as far as i can remember….

i went to this killer oyster bar the other night. it was so good.. i must have ate over 15 oysters. and you know what? the next morning, a freaking pearl came out of my ass… haha….

and check out these fried oysters too. gosh, i’ve been eating too much shell fish recently. but loving it…..

good evening. yesterday was such a cool day. the temperature dropped off a bit but today it was up again. i can’t wait to fall to come. fall in japan is cool and so beautiful. got so many things to do so gotta go. catching up on my emails and spending hours and hours on my computer. i want to slap the persons face that created the internet. i have no time for anything now days. my afternoon nap days are over. and that pisses me off. haha…. goodnight…

wanted to thank my long time friend darin isobe for sending me these photos of hawaii today. this is the classic shot of diamond head from kewalo’s….

gosh, the waves at kewalo’s looks pretty fun. 2′ and perfect. wish i were there. i miss hawaii….

things like this make me not miss hawaii so much. you can only get this in japan….

check out this cool sunflowers. i don’t know why but seeing these makes me bright and happy. i wonder why? do you feel the same way??
