Asahikawa Commercial High School Culture Festival

    Every year Asahikawa Commercial High School has a concert were they showcase the various talents of the students. Every homeroom class (18 in all) has to sing the school song as well as another song of their own choosing. They do extraordinarily well, it sounds like you're listening to a professional choir. In addition to the singing, the drama club and the brass band also perform. Also, a photo exhibition is held outside the performance hall.


This is the First Year Class C Homeroom singing

The drama was pretty interesting...


...even if I didn't understand all of it.

Tanno-cho Thanksgiving, Take Two

    It's that time of year to gorge ourselves on Turkey and pie. Travis graciously invited us all out again to be his slaves and cook Thanksgiving dinner for his town. On Friday night, Travis, James, and Bob performed a little concert for us and good times were had by all. We starting cooking turkeys Saturday around noon and cooked on through until the evening. This year's dinner was even better than last year's. Things came into place easily and the turnout was great! (The turkey and stuffing were pretty good, too, if I do say so myself...)


Small audience for the concert, but they still made enough noise


I was playing with the settings on my camera and go this picture of Karl
