Josh, that's his name. He did what I couldn't do. He dated almost every girl in his class. I was kind of stuck with one.
Josh's first "garofurendo's" parents told her to dump him because of Japan's brainwashing University-entrance-exam (she had to study for that one of course, no time for fun). After that he really never got back on the top.
We spent an excellent week together at Kaisei high school (which we are standing in front of in the picture). The ultimate nerd school in Japan, but also the school which sends 50% of its students to Tokyo University every year. It was great to go to a school with real winners, people who had really done it big time for themselves. Students there wanted to discuss Norway's welfare system and why Norway didn't join the European Union.
Students in my Fukaya high school were to busy figuring out if we had wild elephants in Norway or not (this is not a joke), that they forgot to ask about our welfare system.
Josh and I didn't spend that much time together in Japan, but the time we did spend together usually kicked ass.
