The California-girl Charles was destined to have a very... Hmm.. Positive influence on my year in Japan.
Originally born in Taiwan, people often mistook her for a Japanese. But she's not Japanese at all. It's not a coincidence that Charles on a daily basis lives far, far away from Japan. Well, to be honest; it's not a coincidence that most of us live far away from Japan
With Charles I had so much fun. We must have been the only gaijins in Tokyo singing enka on a daily... well, weekly... Or perhaps monthly basis. We also went to MosBurger at Sea Paradise (the worst entertainment-park in the world), she bought me the contact lenses you all can see in the picture, bought Chinese wine... Well, I guess we didn't have that much fun...
To be serious for a little moment; Charles meant very much for me in Japan. She's truly a friend I'm going to have for life, especially if one of us can lift up our asses to go and visit one another!
But I guess I've got to find out if California really is THAT COOL as Charles says. And she'll have to find out if she as a Californian can get off the plane in Norway without freezing to death.
Charles has asked me several times over the last 10 years to remove the two below pictures. I do not know why, as I think we both look incredibly attractive in these photos. However, as a gesture of solidarity and friendship, I decided to move the two photos in question to the bottom of the page. Hopefully for Charles, no one will be able to find them. The pictures on the top of this page were sent to me by Charles in January of 2006 to replace the below photos, but memories are here to stay. At least until I grow even older and forget.
