What I've liked about the trip this past week:

  • Eating local food
  • Buying Japanese CDs
  • Seeing cute local haole boys
  • Spending time with Ryan and Jen
  • Scattered showers, to a point
  • Maui
  • Wireless Internet access at home
  • Birthday money from relatives

What I've disliked about the trip this past week:

  • No circulation through my parents' house. Trade winds do not make their way through the house, making it hotter than it should be.
  • The rock-hard bed my mom considers soft.
  • Roosters crowing at four in the goddamn morning.
  • The layer of gunk and sweat accumulated over the course of an entire day.
  • Scattered shows, in excess
  • Charged wireless network access at airports
  • Heavy bags
