Visiting Kaz's grandparents in Pippu. A day of many compliments and cherry tomatoes.
Stuck in the rain without umbrellas...
Kadotchi's wife Mari was the only one smart enough to carry an umbrella with her at all times, but cardboard boxes make fine protection against the Asahikawa weather. We found these outside of a used bookstore and they smelled like old books.
I tried to take a quick sneaky photo of Kaz's ultra-cool-grandfather-from-Pippu without him posing. In my rush my fingers got in the way...
Kaz's lucky day! We ran into a girl who was the drummer for one of the bands we played with last Japan tour. She was working at a Ramen restaurant and Kaz got extra egg and meat for his ramen and a snare drum all for free! 
Making coffee shirtless. Now you know why I fell in love with him...
We ate bento lunches from Best Price in a small playground near Kaz's childhood house. There was a wall with SEX spray painted on it. These Asahikawa kids are pretty hardcore...
Blueberries are ridiculously expensive here. Kaz's grandmother got some to make jam and let me have more then my share. I was in blueberry heaven for a full two days...
Cool Kaz.
Kaz and his mom in the country. We ate two different kinds of ice cream: the best soft serve in Asahikawa and also this really good blueberry sorbet ice cream cone. So yummy.
Leo. The meanest little dog on the block. Bit several people 'til they bled and never gets taken out for a walk. His "mom" Kaz's youngest sister throws books near him whenever he's too noisy which only makes him louder. When he's put in his cage he likes to try to jump high enough to get out. He hasn't made it yet, but he's getting close... Kaz wants to feed him chocolate and mustard. 
Kaz showing off his new tiny cell phone and his tiny french fries at Mos Burger after swimming at the local swimming pool. 
Mos burger has fake brick walls. There's also a lot of fake concrete walls here in Asahikawa...
Why do I have white raccoon eyes?
Love,
