Pictures! Part 9

Briana and I at Karaoke gettin our Christmas on!

The boys beltin out some sweet tunes.

I met Briana's big sister and we went to Kyoto! (I know the ad behind us says Osaka)

A parent of one of my students bought me lots of cheese after I told her its the food I miss the most. Of course I made my favorite: Mac n' cheese!


Waiting outside at the Suitopia Center (a community center next door to my work) for the Emperor of Japan to drive by.

At  my favorite temple in Nara, Japan. 

Deer park!

This is me inside my favorite temple, next to a giant buddah.

Snow in Ogaki! I pass the temple every day on the way to work.

I stepped out on my balcony in disbelief and took this picture. It snowed all evening, all night and all morning.


There was a large illumination display in Ogaki Park. It was gorgeous.
All of the pretty lights!!!


Hangin out with Taisei and making new friends!
