Sabrina's Pictures

Taro the bear at a farmish place we dropped by on the All-You-Can-Eat Strawberry Day

Inside those tented gardens are the strawberries. You can also see a great view of the mountains in any direction

Me with a checkered Valentines Day cookie from Kayo in my mouth. CHECKERED! That took a lot of work and it was delicious

The rainy view of the school yard from my seat in class. The cherry blossom tree is going to bloom.

Swans and ducks on the frozen Suwa Lake

The Nagano Alps on a sunny but cold day'

 This is the Himeyuri Memorial. The hole is the cave that some girls hid in. In the museum, you can see it from below. I took this picture, and an almost identical one is in my textbook.

Akane and I from the balcony of our Miyuki Beach Hotel, where we spent our last night in Okinawa.

Mari practicing her shamisen. She didn't know I took this. She never lets me take pictures of her.

A See-Saw Statue. They are on a bunch of buildings, or near them, because they're supposed to be intimidating and guard them.

Some guy that kept standing at the bus stop motionless in this position. He perked up once the bus got moving again.

Nagano Memorial: A memorial to all those in Nagano that died in the War of Okinawa, or in WW2 period... I don't know which.

Japanese Elementary: This is the class I was with. I think everyone of them has my business card

Nice to Have...: I thought the mountains were pretty, and the back of the bus was funny

Matsumoto Castle: Pretty castle, on the outside, but it really used to be a fort type of thing. From Left to Right: My aunt, cousin, me, and mom

Fumina: This is a pic from my apparent dating service... Fumina saw a picture of my friend, and my friend saw a picture of her, and now they're going out via internet... **sigh**

Manami and Aidi. I don't talk about these girls at all, but they're nice to me... They're the ones who waved at me when I toured the school..

Me and Manami. We were hanging out in the dressing room. I went there to study, and they went there because the 3rd years didn't have 1st hour class this Friday.

Toshiko is cool, but I barely see her, along with Manami and Aidi. 3rd years have class on a different floor

Iida's famous puppet clock. Not much to say about it, except it's Iida's symbol.

Here's pretty old Japanese painting or scroll... I like it, though.

Akane Mizuna Kaio at the Karaoke Box. They always come in this order!

Bus Porking? I feel as though I should be offended! (a sign from Tsugome)

Me at a small shrine in Tsugome

Some little kids at a Matsuri

Jizou Statues at a temple I went to. They're supposed to bring good luck to people who live in the area... as long as you dump yen at their base

Akane, Mizuna & Kaio

Yamada-sensei, Brian, and Fumina behind the scenes at the the safety video. I play Yamada's girlfriend, and Fumina plays Brian's.

Me Valle and Eva at the Rotary function. Valle is from Mexico, and Eva is from Connecticut

ARMY OF SCHOOLGIRLS! My school doesn't have uniforms, and it's packed with boys, so seeing this is still kind of new to me

This is Mt. Fuji! As you can see, it doesn't have snow yet, but it's higher than the clouds...! 

This is of a statue from Motozenkoji. I wish now that I got a picture of the sign next to him... It says "do no take pictures." 

Me and Fumina kind of speaks for itself... I don't know what I'd do without this girl! 

Me and Miki is NOT Miki the Inbound. This is a girl I met on the plane. We waited hours upon hours just to find that our plane couldn't leave till the next day. 

That's me at the Tenryugawa District Rotary Club's meeting place. You can't see it, but the actual Tenryu River is right behind me. Tenryugawa means "Heavenly Dragon River." 

Sabrina is the third one from the left (kneeling)
