Nisei Week at JACCC
There was a lot going on in Little Tokyo recently. From Natsumatsuri to the karate exhibition and tournament held by Shotokan Karate of America (SKA), there just had to be even more going on. At first glance, in front of the Japanese American Cultural & Community Center (JACCC), there seemed to not be much going on but Nisei Week was already happening here.

Tafesilafa’i Pacific Islander Festival
Summer weather has been nothing but annoyingly hot. With that said, I of course almost decided not to go to Tafesilafa’i Pacific Islander Festival because it’d be outdoors, under the glorious sun. But I went because as hot as it was going to be, I knew it would only get hotter the following week. So, why not attend an event on a relatively cooler hot day? -
Anime Night Mart
It was hot and because of that, I almost didn’t show up to Anime Night Mart. But in the end, I decided to go which was a great decision because the event was for free and the weather wasn’t as hot by the time I arrived. -
Aesthetics at Huntington Library
Snagging a free day ticket to the Huntington Library was the highlight of my most recent visit to the grounds. It’s summer. It’s hot and it’s even hotter the more inland you go. If you didn’t know already, San Marino is next to Alhambra and the likes which means it’s basically in the San Gabriel Valley area. Valley… In other words, it’s hotter here. Fortunately, plentiful shade and the occasional breeze made this summer outing tolerable. I must admit that I was sweating like a pig, though… -
Walking in Nature
It’s hot. So hot that it’s probably safe to say that the whole world is experiencing and complaining about this horrid summer heat. If anything, I’m so glad that the summer weather didn’t truly kick in until July arrived. That cool spell in June was a gift from above. But it was that cooler weather in June where we could easily go on walks without a care to the time of the day it was. Now, it just seems way too hot to go for a walk, regardless of the time of the day.
