Visiting With Richmond People in Japan

During the holiday break we got to visit with Jumpei’s family. Jumpei is one of Michael’s good buddies from the Japanese Magnet Program that Michael attended at Richmond Elementary in Portland. Jumpei’s dad came back to Japan early last year. Jumpei and his mother just returned in December 2005. While at Jumpei’s house we got to visit with Mogi-sensei, their 2nd grade teacher at Richmond. Mogi-sensei was in Japan for the holidays visiting her family nearby. We had a great time talking, laughing and enjoying great Japanese food. The boys had a super time playing Gameboy and enjoying a sleepover at our place one night and then one at Jumpei’s the next night. What a great time seeing Richmond people in Japan.
