That's Chris's blog. He has a great shot of Akira and I doing the Taiko on stage - check it out.
This past Sunday, I was privileged enough to attend the international festival in Maebashi - it was pretty cool, there were a lot of ALT's there from all over Gunma. We got there a little late, didn't get to experience everything, but we did see some cool Brazilian dancing. What I really loved, though, was the booth that let everyone dress up in traditional costumes from all nations and take photos. I tried on a yoroi (traditional suit of Japanese armor) - see what you think.
So you all can just call me 'Shogun' now, that would be okay. Here's some more photos -

Gotta go, it's getting late. I'll finish the Osaka chronicle later. I miss you all! Take care, everyone.

yeah, Shugon, right---you look like one of those characters from Most Extreme Challenge (Tokeshi's Castle?)--you should be chasing around scared salarymen. . .

Hey Jeff, Erin sent an email to the group with the link to this blog thingy. This is my first blog post, you should feel honored, sort of. Good to see you are enjoying yourself in Japan. The latest news from KSC is Larry is leaving the group for a job with the contracts folks. Have you taken up sumo wrasslin' yet?

How did I do with my Japanese writing on your going away poster? Did you figure out what I wrote, or attempted to?
Hey Charlie! It's good to hear from you. Yeah, I'd heard some of the latest gossip from Erin about Brian leaving and Phil moving on up, but I hadn't heard about Larry leaving as well. That's kind of a shock - I was telling Erin it's amazing what can happen in two short months. I feel almost entirely cut off over here, so I welcome an e-mail from whoever wants to chat. jeff.caffery@gmail.com.
Your Japanese was flawless on the going away poster. O-me-de-to-u. That means congratulations. Thanks!
Incidentally, Bill, if you're reading this, I have a whole new respect for your wife. Teachers work HARD.
thanks for sharing the info.that is interesting.
