A Shimotsuma Story
Friday night we FINALLY met up with April, a JET from Koga, and the new JETs from around Shimotsuma. We met April shortly after we arrived in Japan; she is good friends with Lianne, one of our first contacts here who has since returned to Canada. We started at Chan Charra, a relatively famous okonomiyaki restaurant (pancake/omlette/pizza, Japanese-style) and later moved on to kareoke. About 10 people were in attendance.
Matt (Aussie) & Adrienne (German); later Adrienne sang 99Luft Balloons, in German: What a treat!
The ladies: April (Texan), Wen (Californian), Tanny (Kiwi) and our lovely Jody (Californian, of course).
Tress, me & Matt. Tressa and I had joined the "Blue Sweater Club" by accident. Matt was imitating my singing, there is a series of these shots... hilarious.
April & Wen givin' 'er, so cute!
Who knew Peter was so much fun to have along for kareoke!?! Good times!
NB: the phrase "A Shimotsuma Story" is borrowed for a famous Japanese movie filmed and based in our neighbouring city. It's supposed to be quite good; good enough to put the little town of Shimotsuma on the map.
oh my gaw. the pic with you and aussie singing is hilare. hahaha.
