Yesterday Cameron and I decided to change up our Saturday routine (beach & surf) and go to Chinatown. Whenever we drive through it we always make a plan to go and yesterday we finally did!
Chinatown is like its own little world down there. It's really neat to see all the different foods and there were some very different smells coming from a few places. They had lots of beautiful produce that I wish a would have been prepared to buy.
We saw a Filipino market and Cameron showed me lots of stuff he had while on his mission in the Philippines. We came across this lady selling Balut. Balut is a duck egg that is formed in the egg but has yet to hatch. Cameron ate these 4-5 times in the mission and wanted me to try so he bought one. Yuck! After seeing him crack the top open and slurp out the juice there was no way I was going to try it.
Look closely, you can see the beak and eyes. In some parts you could see the feathers!
Chinatown was so interesting and I'm looking forward to going down there again.
After, we ran some errands and decided to go do the hike to the Makapu'u Lighthouse.
This was a fun walk to the most adorable red lighthouse. It was great to do it at the end of the day when it wasn't so hot and we had a really nice breeze.
Cameron said he wanted to take me out to dinner (yea!) so we ended the night with yummy curry from Haleiwa Eats.
What an ideal day.

ok, first of all that is so gross! secondly how on earth does he slurp it out? it looks more like he should have to chew it up ewwwwww!!!
also how do they kill it? or does he eat it alive?

I wouldn't have eaten it either, anything you have to "slurp" (besides slurpees of course) I do not eat. Sounds like you had a fun day!!
