a few more pics...

earlier this month there was a huge ALT soccer tournament in nagano. here's part of the girls' team.

sports all day...partying all night...


other random photos...
grocery store shots. only a small section of the curry aisle. the japanese do love their ka ri raisu.

the strange pickle section.

a bunch of random fish chunks.


another karaoke night...you guys would be embarassed to know how much we've been singin'. shameless...


shingo wearing an anpan man mask. anpan is a bread that's stuffed with sweet azuki bean paste. they make all sorts of rolls that look like this mask. i'm not sure why people get such a kick out of dressing up like a pastry.
