Friday Night Fun Cultural Exchange






Last Friday night, my JGSDF Advanced Officer English students (Kiyota, Kondo, Kuga, Odan, and Yamanouchi) came over for Food, Drinks, Mario and Fun! Quinn was so excited to play Super Mario Brothers and Mario Kart with the guys. He was exhausted but hung on to play until almost 9:00pm. Quinn's last request of the night was to have his new best friend, LT Yamanouchi (A Mario Master) see his Mario room. But Mean Mommy had to think on her feet and come up with a good reason to say no.

Even Scarlett was feeling friendly and danced and talked with the guys.

After the kids went to bed, the adults played Band Hero for Wii (Thanks for lending it to us Cooper Clan). The Japanese students had never heard of Guitar Hero, Band Hero, nothing. LT. Kondo even said, "I never thought an American would teach us about video games". And we even had live entertainment with Cpt. Kiyota playing his guitar. He played beautifully.

I had lots of fun. And I hope they did too.
