The first six pictures are from our nabe experience. Nabe is a basically a style of eating. You sit at a table with a pot of boiling broth in front of you (there is a gas stove in the center of the table) and they bring out a plate of raw vegetables and meat. You then place your vegetables and meat of choice into the boiling broth, cover, wait for it to cook, and then eat it. Very yummy!

People: In the first pic we have left to right, TJ, Brandy, and Kiri-chan. Next pic is me and the pic after that is Dani-chan, who doesn't like her picture taken. Same set up as before for the fourth picture, and added to the group is Matt (aka Tim Curry) and Jen in photo number five. Six is a picture of my first bowl of food. Isn't it lovely?

This is Matt and TJ playing Tekken 4 at the huge candyland-like arcade. That game is so smooth I can barely believe it. ^o^

Last is the big movie poster for "Azumi," the movie we all went to see. If you look closely you'll see blood spattered on her legs and arms. Whenever someone was hit with something sharp (sword, arrow, axe, etc), blood would spray all over and pour out of their mouths.
