Blue Hawaii Christmas


In the first week of December, I returned to Hawaii for Christmas.  I was unable to return to Hawaii for the winter vacation because I will be going to Southeast Asia with my friends.  I was only able to go home for one week during the final tests, so my trip went by very, very fast.  However, it was very enjoyable.  I was able to meet my family and my friends, again.  Also, I was able to drive my car!!!  I felt so happy to be driving my car.  I want to buy and drive a car in Japan, but I don't think it is really necessary for me, because Japan has a very efficient train network. 

The weather in Hawaii was typical Hawaii winter weather...hot and humid.  The average temperature was about 28 degrees celsius, with clear blue skies!!!  There are many, many Japanese tourists in Hawaii in December because on December 14th, there was the Honolulu Marathon.  Most of the people who run in the Honolulu Marathon are Japanse people. 
 
On Christmas Day, I will fly to Singapore.  From there, I will also visit Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, and Bali, Indonesia.  The Junior High School AET's from Moka JHS, Moka Nishi JHS, Yamazaki JHS, and Nakamura JHS will also join me on this trip. We are all very excited to be taking a trip together.  It should be enjoyable. 
 
Everyone, please have a Merry Christmas (or as we say in Hawaiian, 'Mele Kalikimaka'), and a Happy New Year!!!
