Waikiki - - - My first USA.
2010-10-06
I came to Hawaii when I was 15 years old. That was my first experience being outside of Japan. For 15 year old boy, this was the USA. Food, People, Culture, Beach, Bikini, Aloha ... I was shocked. This place opened my eyes to the richness of the life. Besides, everyone spoke Japanese. I said to myself, I think I can live in the USA.
This experience lead me to my decision to go to college in the USA. When I arrived in Los Angles, I found out nobody spoke Japanese. But that was another story. I have one more day here and fling back to Seattle.
