Otskaresama


We've been pretty busy doing paperwork for Kris' new job and moving to a new apartment. Everything seems to be falling into place.  Here are a few random photos that we've taken over the past couple of weeks.

A sign at Mos Fine Coffee and Burgers: " Hamburger is Life", need I say more?

Finally, a photo of the high heeled Converse shoes!

The t-shirt that employees wear in the shoe department at Jusco: "We'd like to be honest and sincere at any time."

A parking attendant at a restaurant, notice his orange directing wand and the umbrella to keep cool in the sun.

In other news, four of our friends defended their Masters theses today.  They all did a great job and we went to Paikaji to celebrate!

The new Masters wore their hats proudly.

Birthdays

 Another year in Okinawa brings us a lot of thoughtful birthday wishes and some very interesting gifts.
A kangaroo ball bottle opener from Australia
 
Some "Nice" goodies from the U.S.

Slick...enough said
Some interesting hygiene products
A group of us ate lunch at Mou on Nate's 40th birthday! Nate wore a crown.

 Takuma (in the red sweatshirt) gave Nate a "King Beer's" mug with a lid for snacks.




Thank you everyone for your birthday wishes and gifts!
