yesterday was supposed to be heavy rain in town but we didn’t see any of that.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

learning how to properly and safely use a gun was the best thing i’ve ever did. now i can teach others how to be safe, and also share the experience with thrill seekers like Asayama-san.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

being an American, i have the right to own guns. and with the crazy world we live in now, it’s not a bad idea. in fact, lots of my friends are doing the same thing. but for Japanese, it’s a taboo and totally illegal to even touch a gun. in fact, it’s even a scary subject to talk about.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

but this is America so if you want to try, i can make it happen. i just have to trust you a lot. just like how i trust Asayama-san.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

shooting a gun for the first time is pretty thrilling. the loud noise can blow your ear drum out. so wearing protective hearing and eye gear is a must.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

we did pretty good considering the target was pretty far! 25 yards or 23 meters to be exact.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

the whole time we where shooting, we heard this little girl behind us laughing and laughing. then right before we left, she sent me this photo. haha.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

when i pulled up to the range, i told the staff “hey, i’m a full on beginner so i don’t know anything. please yell at me if i do something wrong or unsafe.” he actually ended up giving me tips.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

another day, another lunch. huge sesame balls!
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

another day, another dinner. juicy lamb with garlic\/rosemary.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

heard about this girl that works at a restaurant in Waikiki? struggling to go to college, and struggling to make a living here in Hawaii. she told her story to a couple that she was serving and the couple did something totally amazing.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

they gave her a $400 tip on a $200 bill! omg! then this sweet girl went to track them down at their hotel to say thank you. then the couple ended up giving her $10,000 for her college. what an amazing story and so happy to hear there are such generous people living in this world. i’m so stoked for her! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
