A bit of my Birthday

Well on October 21st I turned 27 (good feelings all around about that). To mark the occasion I and some friends had a BBQ off the Tama river in Tokyo. Good friends, good food, and good times. Unfortunately, my camera battery died shortly after people started arriving. So, I was only able to capture a few pics. Here they are -

My friends Chu (Japanese) & Jackie (Canadian - from Vancouver, like myself) hanging out.

WIG SERIES:

My friend Hitomi (Japanese/American) poses with a pretty pink wig.
Jackie shows what being a laid-back Vancouverite is all about
Helen (British) looks all coy.This was my friend Liz's "Oh really" face. I had just "announced" I would be "beginning to take candid shots". I am so hopeless when it comes to being subtle. (Liz is a lovely Australian if your wondering)
awww...and yes we sure did have fun putting makeup on my sock...

Then, sadly, my camera died.

What you missed: me running around in a fairy costume on the beach, a neighboring group of Japanese guys flirting with us (they gave us a bag of raw meat), and some beautiful fireworks going off.

Good times.
