| On Miyajima off of Hiroshima, there are some pretty funny monkeys, and pretty funny monkey signs. It says, in English "We do not hope to be such a monkey. Please refrain from feeding us. |
| Matto-san and Ann-san (and I!) at the amazing Tabirakis. They are my favorite friends from my first year. They are so missed! |
| Some colorful hanging dolls, make a wish on one and it brings good luck, I think? Maybe I made that up... hmm... i forget. Pretty colorful things none the less. |
| Miki and I at our taiko show last year. Miki is now off at college in Osaka! Congrats Miki-chan! |
| My momma-chan came to visit me last Christmas. Here we are at Miyajimi shrine. |
