Bon Chance, Bon Dance!

Hope your weekend was an exciting one!
Here in Hilo, it was hot and beautiful. Summer has surely arrived!
So had to go to the favorite beach spot to cool off the heat...
お元気ですか~!?良い週末を過ごされましたか?こちらヒロは良い天気に恵まれ毎日夏真っ盛り、といった感じです。そんな日々はやはり海、に限りますよね!ということで先週末はお気に入りのビーチで涼んできました…

It's a traditional way to celebrate the o-bon period (usually in August) in Japan. It was a very pleasant surprise to see so many local people enjoying this traditional way of honoring and paying respect to your ancestors. And there were many great dancers too! A "home away from home" kinda feeling, if you know what I mean.
Here's a site where you can see the Big Island Bon Dance Schedule. It's happening throughout July and August, so if you get into the dancing, you can dance your way through the summer, almost every weekend!
This particular event was sponsored by Suisan, who is celebrating their 100th year anniversary. Wow!


Mahalo and a hui hou!

そしてこちらは地元のお友達、マイカイ・オハナ・ツアーズのビッグ・ジンさん。その名のとおり大型人間です。彼の被っている帽子はシグ・デザインなんですよ~!もうすぐ新しいデザインが出来上がる予定なのでお楽しみに♪
それではマハロございました!

Is that favourite beach spot pictured Richardson's ?
Hi aloha samwise!
I don't actually know the name of this place, but it's way before Richardson's. It's actually right before Onekahakaha Beach. It's a great little spot, as you can see!
Aloha!

先日はどうも!なんだか僕の写真、ルークを食べちゃいそうな感じですね。そして顔、ひどいですね。我ながら驚きます。シグゼンのマイナスイメージになるようでしたら、顔にモザイクでも入れておいて下さい。
ビッグジンさま!
かなりお茶目なええ感じの表情ではないですか~?!御登場頂きありがとうございます♪
今後共又モデルよろしくです!
