SCHLAULAU TRAVELOGUE - OSAKA, JAPAN. February 2001
 
 

Osaka, Japan.
Feb. 2001

During the month of February I had the chance to visit Japan with my brother Philip. It was a holiday simply to get away from all the worries in the past few months, as well as a chance to see each other after two years apart.

The passing of our mother made me want to weave a better web amongst us brothers, Philip, Kevin, and I, simply because the original bond, my mother, isn't here anymore.

I am sure mom would want us to stick together, through good and bad times as well.

During this trip, Philip and I travelled through Kyoto, Osaka, Shusenji (in Izu), and Tokyo. These are the pictures that descible our fun times during this two-week trip.

That evening... after our dinner with Philip and Jamie, Hiro and I went on to meet Silvia, a friend from Minneapolis whom I haven't seen in years...
Silvia Ban... hey you look more "grown up" than a few years ago! It's a compliment...
Hiro, Silvia's friend Yana, and Silvia.
Hiro is ignoring me and asking Silvia and Yana what they want to eat...
Silvia still amazed by Hiro's boasting of his escapades.
After Philip, Jamie and I leave for our hot spring tour by ourselves, Hiro has to continue with his "tour guide" duties and show Silvia and Yana around... the exact same temples he saw just days before... Thanks Hiro!
"I feel like a tour guide, and I don't even get paid!"
Yana and Hiro checking out pictures Silvia took with her digital camera, the Sony Mavica...
Hiro writing down his telephone number for Yana, while Yana is shocked by Hiro's "forwardness"...
