Mahalo (in Japanese)! I love your Hawaiian Quilter's Club website! I am a huge huge huge super fan of Hawaiian quilting and Hawaiian people! I don't know Japanese! This is my problem: Your site is in Japanese writing and language. So, what can we do about this? I have a few needs to be met as far as Hawaiian quilts and quilting lessons and pictures of people making quilts and pictures of people making quilts and pictures of people making quilts are concerned. I would also like to take a picture of a quilt that is made up of squares that have pictures of the people of Hawaii re-enACTing their heritage! THis sounds like a lot of fun, right?!
Here's what I need you to do:
1) Translate your entire site from Japanese to English (not HAWAIIAN please)
2) I need you to book me a room for multiple nights at the Hale Koa hotel in Waikiki (3 or 4?)
3) I need you to make a gross of quilts for me (144? metric?) Do you use metric in Japan? Are you in Japan? Or Hawaii? Was Hawaii part of Japan? I don't know history of geography. I do know that Hawaii has become a United States' State! Number 50! Go!
4) I need every 7th quilt to be in the shape of a cape and big enough to fit my brother (LAKE HENRY). He's about as tall as me, but he's a little bit thinner and has a thick nect. Does this help? He might also be wearing one shoe only, so may have to make quilt/cape lopsided! Just like the Samurais! My borhter (LAKE HENRY) does not have a sword! But he does have a ponytail. Just like the Samurais!
5) I need you to explain to me what Hawaiian quilting is. I'm not so clear on that yet, but I'm getting there. CROSS YOUR FINGERS! OR DO THE JAPANESE/HAWAIIAN EQUIVALENT! (I've heard this has something to do with roast pig???)
6) I need you to pay for plane tickets for myself and my brother (LAKE HENRY) to fly to Waikiki, HI for three to four days. You can book us on any flight from any airline, as long as we leave from John Wayne International Airport. Go Rooster!
7) And this is a biggie! I need you to make us fake ID's cards. I know what you're thinking, and that's exactly why I need them. We got kicked out of Da Big Kahuna and now they have our pictures up. So, you should make up new names for us. Fitz Henry? Blake Henry? One should have a picture of me (smiling). One should have a picture of my brother (LAKE HENRY) and he should be smiling. If there is any problem (quilting regulations? passport forgery? disease?) let me know ahead of time. Whatever it is, we can get over it, as long as we stick together. JUST LIKE THE SAMURAIS! Have you seen the "Samurai Seven?" Just like that. And like the "Three Amigos." (not samurai)
So, I guess it sounds like this is all going to happen! I'm so excited. Hawaiian quilters are so nice and professional!
A'ha mahalo Kaohinani!
