Experiencing Japan

June 12, 2007

Just this past weekend Hakim’s father left after staying nearly 10 days. The week was filled with all kinds of fun stuff for him to experience while in Komatsushima and other cities in Japan. During his stay Hakim and, sometimes, I took him around Komatsushima, Tokushima, Naruto, Kochi Prefecture and Kyoto. He was able to experience a traditional Japanese tea ceremony, a welcome party for him hosted by Hakim’s students, some of the night life in Tokushima, many temples, Mt. Bizan, the Naruto whirlpool, a Monet Garden, Awa Odori dancing, and much more.

Below are some of the pictures taken during his stay.

  2. Okay… give it a shot. I went ahead and enlarged them because they weren’t coming up for me either, but now that they’re larger it’ll let you enlarge it… weird. I don’t know. Anyway… hopefully you can see them better now.

  5. LOL!!!!
    Wow… why do I remember that song so well! I feel so bad. I started singing it while Haydee and Thomas were here and she couldn’t believe I remembered it. Nothing against JP though, Gerald just made a hell of a catchy song!!
