Big Island

Hapuna Beach

Secluded and very quiet. I could see some whales blowing water along the shoreline. 

 Crazy looking trees everywhere in Hilo

Another amazing sunset in Kona. I don't care how many times I've seen it. I just don't get tired of watching sunset in Hawaii.

Volcano - Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

Definitely worth the walk.

Monterey breakfast@C Restaurant & Bar

Awesome breakfast at C Restaurant. I asked for extra fruits, and the waiter gave us free bowl of fresh berries. YUM! 

Sample at Midori Zushi

超特選にぎり　(Super Select Sushi Plate) ￥2,140@ 美登利寿司


Sushi on this picture is SAMPLE. Not real.

Make sure to catch the breakfast/lunch time for the freshest sushi. Opens 11:00 a.m ~. You might want to go before the opening time because there could be a very long line especially on weekends.

10：30に行ったら既に結構長蛇の列が出来てました。

My favorite 鮨屋

I love this place. Price is reasonable, and when you order the "Chef's choice or おまかせ", they will bring you 2-3 pieces at a time instead of putting everything on 1 plate. Makes it even fresher.

Shadow of our balloon

It's definitely a different experience and exciting for the first 10 minutes... but the driver(?) couldn't land for extra 20 minutes or so, almost hitting a roof of a house.

Hot Air Balloon in Boulder

Off we go!!

Sunset at the Ko'Olina. Gorgeous sunset. I was attending the Paradise Cove Luau. It is a little pricy, but worth the experience.

Tokyo Tower (333 m, or 1,093 ft), all lit up. I know, I know, the new Sky Tree (634.0 meters or 2,080 ft) is taking over. I haven't seen the recent near-complete Sky Tree, but I really liked the Tokyo Tower.
