when i first came to hawaii...

this is what i did.

- walked around the neighborhood with jacob the night i got here. i think he was worried that i would go explore on my own otherwise.

- ate sushi and really liked it.

- woke up that first morning at 5:30 (unheard of for me) and sat on the roof to watch the sunrise. and talk to joh.

- stopped by the japanese cultural center (half a block away) and copied this poem off one of the walls:

" Huge dreams of fortune
Go with me to foreign lands,
Across the ocean.

" With tears inI my eyes
I turn back to my homeland,
Taking one last look."

- Japanese Emigrant Poem
