Maya's visit!!!

Maya pulled herself away from her grueling engineering job in Vancouver long enough to visit me! We had such a fun time! As soon as she got off the train (and after a long flight and many train trips) we went out for drinks with the other partiers of the city. the next day we attended a barbecue at the house of a lady in my English club (an adult English conversation class), and the day after that we went to Kokura (in northern Kyushu) to see Kokura Castle and to go shopping at the giant mall. Hopefully I'll have some more pictures of Maya's visit soon (all the cool ones are on her camera, I didn't take nearly enough!). So stay tuned for those!

If you're 3 a good game is throwing a ball down a hill and waiting for your dad to retrieve it.
