Hey Alexis!	Justin is the spawn of the devil	I really enjoy Noh. No, really.	Drew prepares to kill!
No you zidn'! (said with neck moving side to side, while snapping fingers)	We wait eagerly, unaware of the cruelty of our fate (known as Noh)	Andy demonstrates for us	It's like a people ice cream cone (with a scoop of chocolate on top)
Circumspect		Best picture ever

Stephen scares me sometimes. (1c)	I don't really take pictures of people often, so I steal them from others

2003-06-28: Sayonara Party & Bowling

This is really a good looking writing mat. It really is sharp, isn't it?	Lossy transmission method: English to Katakana to English (1c)
	Meanwhile, Japanese people make fools of themselves around us	Ethereal bowling	Which doesn't make for interesting storytelling
But every story is about bowling	Which conveniently illustrates for us the path of the ball, and thus each picture tells a story	So Dan starts playing with long-exposure flash photography	Matt's arm moves too fast to be captured on film
Chris bowls the southern way	...and subsequently gets a gutter ball. Next time maybe don't listen to foliage there, bud	Dan asks bowling advice of his friend Freddy The Palm Tree, but obtains nothing of any use	Jenn shows us how it is done
Matt prepares to awe	Chris objects to the ball's behavior	Matt and Jenn succumb to the siren song	Bowling on Kawaramachi
The Japanese seem to have a pretty good concept of popular American music	Dan and Host Mom look up more kanji to pass the time at this rockin' party	Matt propositions Ko, who looks back nervously at Matt while feeling for his mace	Drew: "So you're saying you own money? I love you forever."
Alia: "...So you see, it's really just an interesting psychological phenomenon." Stephen: "...What?"	Okaa-san	Emmy objects to photographic evidence of her presence which could later be used as evidence	Matt presents his discourse on Dance Dance Revolution
Stephen, caught unaware, looks decent in a picture	Where is Ko looking? (Hint: Jenn took this picture)	It has been previously mentioned that Jenn likes feet.	Steven turns from his conversation to see what we're taking pictures of
Turning, Alia smiled and cocked an eyebrow as if to say, "I can't keep this up much longer"	Joel loves hanging out with kids	Jenn likes feet	Emmy & Bethany belong in store-bought picture frames
Brothers In Near-Nudity	Alia, Dan, & Ko. (HAHAHA I RULE)	Josh turns his well-practiced 'I will be killing you presently' look on an innocent	Ethan is down with it as well
Justin seems delighted to be having his picture taken	I love Dia's host dad. I'm glad she did not eat him. (1c)	Alexis is always aware	Someone's host kids
Shannon chills with Bethany	Matt's characteristic perfect smile (1c)	Phyllis, too, knows the Secret of the Kimono	Abo-sensei, Dan, Jenn, Fujii-sensei
The kids from Ko's house yesterday have shared their secret with Emmy!	Wilson, Josh, & Joel	Jenn's family, maybe?	Alia & co.
Shannon & co.	...poseurs	Dan and Host Mom	A representative from each class gives progressively better speeches
We all gather for our sending off	But Jenn doesn't know how to use them so he demonstrates	Ethan offers Jenn his cups
