Ehukai Pillbox and Pearl Harbor 5-10-21 Oahu hikes

 


Ehukai Pillbox (1st bunker)












Went hiking with my friend Gary and took maybe about 30 mins to here. Was just muddy for the most part. The hike had some turnout that day. You had recognizable character paintings inside the bunker. Have fun figuring them out. 

2nd bunker








The view inside the bunker
 The 2nd bunker is roughly another 5-10 min hike. This one I feel gets ignored because most people are unaware of it's presence. Thus, its the reason why you are able to have the picture often times by itself. Correct me if I am wrong, but I think the bunker's surface was a painted peace sign before, but now it looks like a fish of some sort. Anyhow, the 2nd bunker everyone.

Lunch at Jorge's Tacos and Ceviche





I had the Mexican Coke. It uses cane sugar instead of corn syrup. I felt it tasted less sugary and less acidic. That's coke in a bottle for you. The food was ok though.

Pearl Harbor (U.S.S Utah Memorial)











It's been ages but it's my return to the Utah thanks to Gary. The surfaced port of the ship is mostly rusted now then I remembered. There are flowers growing close to where the abandoned tow cables lie. 

U.S.S Oklahoma Memorial









Well, its been ages since I was here too. The markers which each represent the fallen 429 men of the once capsized Oklahoma are starting to rust. The U.S.S Missouri lies in the background. Ironically, this is where the Oklahoma capsized back in 1941. 

U.S.S Arizona memorial from Ford Island











I sometimes saw pictures of a plaque from Ford Island on the net. Me and Gary decided to explore and voila! Found it. It's also a residential area so don't make trouble if you come here. Enjoy the view. 



Thank you for viewing and Mahalos. See you on the next adventure. Thank you Jesus for a good day!

Hawaii Foodiecon 2025 and Yakiniku Like.

  Yakiniku Like Foodiecon was a enjoyable experience. Quite a bit of food vendors. It can be fairly expensive depending on the stuff you buy. Got to try Yakiniku Like over here in HNL. Brings me back to Sapporo which was actually only two months ago. Once again, good if you want a quick meal but if you hoping to be fulfilled, you may want to check into a Yakiniku buffet instead.

Sapporo, Japan Feb 2025 (Pic Heavy)

  Early February trip to Japan. Feb 2 (Hawaii time) Flight from HNL to New Chitose  Food from ANA airlines. Was not a direct flight. One layover. Then a one hr train ride to Sapporo from New Chitose Airport. Landed around 1030PM at night.  (Each day categories pics start from bottom to top, sorry didn't feel like fixing this).  Feb 3 ( Sapporo) (Will be Japan dates from this moment forward) The famous Nikka sign and pretty much a midnight snack before bed. According to google, the restaurant is called Asahi Ga Nobori Susukino and its right across the Nikka sign and has a animatronic ramen display. It's a good restaurant that features a staple of Sapporo: Miso. One of the few places that is open to a much later time. I think 3AM?  Feb 4  Nijo Market  Yup. Hawaii. Nijo Market. Brunch pretty much at Ohiso . Gets packed quick so find a spot to catch your grub quickly. Lots of similar restaurants around here like Ohiso but like I sai...

Another day in Hawaii-Nei 8/11/20 Murals in Oahu.

Well, since hikes and most of the beach (non-swimming) are out of the question. I tried to go the non-Kaka'ako areas to take pics of murals though I ended up going to Kaka'ako for a little bit to scope out my next mural adventure. Without haste, lets get started. Before I start, copyright and credit are given to the respective owners of the murals/paintings. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your pieces of art. I'll also do my best to address the locations as best as possible for those interested. Mural #1     Location:   939 Ke’eaumoku St, Honolulu, HI 96814.  Its the strip club 939 across Dominoes Pizza . This one caught my eye simply because I drive around this area frequently and I saw it the other day, so I decided to inspect it up closer. *Update Feb 2021* Apparently, the girl's chest in the painting is whited out now if you decide to sojourn into this area. What a way to ruin some art, really. Kinda ironic when it's still a stripclub.  ...
