This is Masumi and Fumiko.  I met Masumi at an International Party.  She and her friends are learning English.  Her daughter is currently studying at the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore Maryland.  Fumiko is Chinese and is a Chinese Japanese translator.  She is also currenlty learning English.

This is Natsuko's friend Kaoru.  She's alot of fun.

This is the view from my friend Mika's apartment.  Her and her husband have a very cool apartment in Kojiya which is only about a 15 minute walk from where I work.   They are on the top floor of a four story building and have a great view.

The building at the end of this street on the right is where they live.

We had a small party at their apartment.  Mika made tempura and it was great.
