Here are some pictures of me in Japan:
This was a picture taken of me and two Canadian kendo players (Hugo on the left, Antoine on the right)
who were staying at Tokai for a couple weeks for kendo. It was taken at around 5 AM on Sunday morning,
after being at a club called XROSS in Roppongi all night.
This was taken on the subway ride home after the night of clubbing. A girl fell asleep on my shoulder.
It happens more often then you think in Japan. The guys thought it was funny (you can see their reflection
in the window) and so decided to take a picture.
A picture of me being a goof with one of my best Japanese buddies, Ryou. I've known Ryou since I was at my
other university, Budai, and we've kept in touch since then.
This particular night we were headed out to a club in Shibuya.
(Note: Those aren't my glasses.)
This was a picture taken over at Tsumagoi where I was an assistant English teacher from July 31st to August 5th.
This is a picture of one of my roommate's shirts.
In case you can't read it, it says:
"In there an energy. Inside your smile. That shines upon me. And the positive."
Wicked shirt.
In a power point presentation created by the students about their week at Tsumagoi, this picture was accompanied
with the caption "Nice guy".

This was the massive training area we had for the Nagano training camp... as big as it is, it got really crowded with everyone training.
