FRIENDS PART II
These strange specimens are called Ganguro (The Tanned Ones). Lou-san on the end, followed by Mi-san and a stoic, pouting Jon-san on the end. This was for a sample debate at a Kurume High School seminar I went to. The kids were amazing, and spoke English only for three days straight. We did not, however, fare so well, as you can see....
These pics are of me and a teacher at my school, Hiramine-sensei, a real funny guy......
Me, Miyuki-san and Mizuho-san, drunk and merry at the Happy Cock in Tenjin.
There he goes, pulling my pony-tail again....
These are some people I met when climbing Mount Homan-zan with my Kyoto-sensei and another teacher. Very nice people, and we are still in touch...
Here's old Jed, a Somerset farmboy I met in Kurume.....
OK, so it's Jon up to his old tricks...and maybe one or two new ones...
