I can only rightly identify two people in this picture, Mukai is standing far left having his head knocked to the side by the person who has a headlock on Gan-chan.

Its Supi- and Mika, they are friends of mine because they were in the same class as Jodie when she was at Hineno Highschool. She was my best friend there for a long time, but sadly as i will do in a month and 4 days, she went home in January.

Maa kun is Mikas little brother, he is really good at bowling, i dont know what else to say about him, but i had this picture so i thought i should put it up for the memories.

Apperantly this was funny. Actually i just needed an excuse to get ma chan on the web page.

T.J.: Put the towel back on your head i wanna take a picture, it looked funny.
Kamatani: Hurry up i think it looks stupid.
(He has no sence of shame, dont worry.)

T.J.: Great, can i put it on my webpage?
Kamatani:...............

Hee hee hee Ki chan was put on the spot with a mock job interview. He couldnt stop laughing and it was really akward therefor funny.

This is pretty much the same picture but with more of an appriciation for how fast my year in japan has gone bye. I dont think it has been 10 months yet, but its almost time to go home.

This is my friend Tsujino proudl....okay shyly? holding his do it your self puzzel that he made in art. He loves american entertainment. Especially South Park and Britney Spears, so Britney, if by any chance you are reading this. There is a nice shy japanese guy just waiting for you. He keeps saying he aspires to marry you.

Gan chan had the lower towel on his face and he was shaking that bottle and it reminded me of arabian nights and angry arabs waving swoards so i grabbed another towel to complete the turbon. Then Saito kun (ever so vein) saw that there was a picture about to be taken and he wasnt in it so he came up and hes too nice to do the whole angry arab thing so he spreads the peace.

And the peace is succsessfully spread.

Its a picture of my host dad with the pyramid we made at shirahama.

We went to a near by department store and my host mother wanted to try on all the sunglasses, but none of them fit her face so i put an equally missfiting hat on her head.

My first host father promised to stop smoking. This was taken at my going away party. A lady brought an ashtray for him and i asked her to take it away. Then he remembered his promise and put it on his head. doesnt he look like an old lady you could call Daisy?

From left to right, Miyon chan and well i always forget her name, but the other one is a good friend too. youd think id be able to remember her name, anyway we had a kind of small going away party and we made takoyaki. if you dont know what that is, go to the Around japan gallery.The party didnt last long cause i had to be home by ten and it didnt start untill seven, but it was fun.
