Thomas, a friend of In-Sook from Bamberg, was travelling through Japan and came to Kyoto 2 weeks ago. We went out for some Hanami with Yumi, a former exchange student to Munich. We went to Ginkaku-Ji, a famous temple.
I met Miyoshi (called Goripon) in Nagoya a few weeks ago. He is a Japanese high-school friend from Nagoya and also a singer and songwriter! Watch out for his CDs. Funny picture.
Marcel came to visit me in Nagoya last weekend. He is a half-Japanese friend from Vieanna (a good friend of my brother Ken). We had a lot of fun with my cousins and friends.
