13th Day in San Francisco, Aug 20, 2014

Photos here.

Kids love Uncle Chris. They simply didn't leave him alone. They went to pool with him and Auntie Emi, and had lots of fun, even Riku was not afraid of water!

As Ren had some business meetings, we went out with Chris to go meet Emily and her mom, Sacchi. We took muni N, and the driver made an announcement that it had to stop as it had to wait for police... Suspicious... We made a move and got off as it could take forever to start moving. Then we started walking, the muni started moving, too...! You fooled me... Anyhow, we walked about 7 blocks and managed to meet Emily and Sacchi at 9th & Irving. We had lunch at la Boulange, and walked to Academy of Science as it started raining and too cold to play in a play ground. It was very well organized, and we loved the rainforest dorm. And their cafe was wonderful, I should check out next time.

We took muni back to hotel, and kids were all exhausted, fighting not to sleep on the ride.

Bus rider back home

Overheard a conversation between two senior ladies on the bus way back to home from work. One lady said she was worried about her daughter not getting married. "I was worried about her going out when she was young, and was careful not to let her go on date with some boys, but now I regret what I did. If she had more chances of meeting, she would've been married by now." The other lady was telling her that she was embarrassed by her daughter married to a man not from the good family. "Children of my brothers and cousins all married to the people from the good family. My daughter is the only one not married to such a good family. Even my husband's end relatives also married to decent family. I'm so embarrassed." The grass is greener on the other side of the fence. One is not happy about her daughter being single. One is not happy that her daughter doesn't belong to decent family that she can claim to her relatives. Probably both of them were trying to ...

20130601 Keiki Hula Ho'ike

20130601 Keiki Hula Ho'ike , a set on Flickr. After a few rehearsals and meetings in the mornings and evenings, the day of Hula show arrived. She had to go to elementary school in the morning though it's Sat, she left school early so that she could make it just enough to join the photo shooting. She was co-operative, and totally motivated and excited about the show. Her hair, outfit, dresses already left at the stage, got on a taxi, then we got to the venue. They started circle time already, getting ready for lining up for the photo. Then drama happened. I left her with the other girls and went look for her costume at back stage. They were moving around the stuff and I could not find it, had to search each room, then finally her stuff arrived. So I passed it to one of the teachers so that she could put it on to Ton. I went back to the stage, then found Ton crying so hard, came over to me. She insisted on staying with me, not dancing. Uh-oh. So, everybody, other...
