Canada Round-up

See below for what happens when you don’t visit davidandkiko.com

Why do you make the baby Noa cry? Does Baby Awesome (click that for some awesomeness) deserve this?

(No… I’m just joking. he’s crying because I beat him for being too cute.)

Although we still haven’t found a place to settle in yet here in Tokyo, that doesn’t mean we have a whole lot of excitement to share from our trip back to Canada. (ie. I still haven’t been able to get our photos off the camera yet. So these are a bit older…)

How about some Niagara Falls action? (one picture by me, one by Kiko)

How about some good friends?

How about family?

What about shocking good looks?

Ok heres what you really wanted…

Noa is just like E.T.

I may or may not have forgot to upload pictures from my camera while I had the chance.

So this may or may not be filler.

We may or may not be heading back to J-pan in a few days 🙁

Look

and as promised… (I spent a good 2 hours training him)

he loves it! (he can almost say “E.T. too!)

ok… so it’s more of a “Deh bweh (insert dribble noise here)”

The boys in Brampton

weird… I was waiting for this post to go up a few days ago and decided to check it out. Apparently I didn’t actually post it.

oops.

It turns out I am not perfect. Just pretty damn close. (my stomach hurts and its making me delirious.)

I have some exciting news about me and my good friend Hideki, but watch for that in an upcoming post.

For today, I would like to share some photos of my good friends that made the long trip all the way out to the B-dot to visit. Dan, Graham, Marc, Matt, it was great to see you guys. Noa had a blast and it was great just to hang out. Like I said, Dan & Graham (not to mention Franky!) it’s about time you make the trip to Japan.

Hard Gay

Has Noa got the ghey?

That one is still up in the air, but I don’t really know how to describe Hard Gay, aka Crazy-Japanese-Comedian?-Man, other than by saying he is very very not gay. If there was a gayness competition, Noa would win hands down.

Anyways, to summarize, Hard Gay is a Japanese comedian that goes around thrusting his hips at small children. Hmm… weird. At any rate, his trademark move is to say something and then scream “Fo—!” really loud. (Teaching was great when we got to the number 4 and I had all the children of Japan screaming at me while raising there hands in a Hard Gay pose.)

… I just realized I am writing about Hard Gay so I will cut this short here. Anyways, the day before we left Hard Gay was brought to Takamatsu for the Takamatsu Festival. We stood in a huge crowd just so we could get a picture of Hard Gay screaming “Takamatsu Fo—!” which made everyone in Takamatsu feel special.

I don’t think Noa was that impressed that we made him sit through that.

But at least we were able to get this…

Hard Gay in Takamatsu VIDEO

(people complained about the irrelevance of this post. So here is a picture of Noa destroying some fruit with dagger #1 and #2… and obviously feeling bad for the destruction that he brought upon the poor orange.)

I’m sorry Mr. Orange.

It’s too late Noa…. too late.

Friends from Japan

Sorry about the delay in posting…
oh wait. I update the site like 10 times a week. are you guys crazy!?!?! just can’t get enough of us? that’s what I thought.

In case you didn’t remember, I forgot my flash card reader, so I have no way of getting my pictures off my camera until I am somewhere with a reader. Hence the delay between posting and between events and pictures (look for a great visit from some good friends in a few days!)

In the meantime, Kiko, Noa and I were really lucky to have some good friends from Kagawa come to Canada to visit. Ishikawa-sensei (my supervisor) and his family came to Toronto to visit. We got some Toronto, Niagara and Ottawa action in. The tri-fecta of tourism. A big thanks to Tray, Thomas, Chris, Franz and Shane for all your help.
Speaking of Shane… here is a picture.

(Just so you know, and I’m not making this up, the previous picture in the series shows Noa poking his own eye out.)

Here are some pictures from Ishikawa-sensei’s family trip to Canada.

IMG_1783IMG_6885
IMG_6893

We took them to Asian Legend (the best Chinese food in Toronto!) with Thomas, Tracy, and Shane, as well as a trip to Brampton to see Mom and the dogs.

As I mentioned, we got most of the major tourism points down. Some Ottawa,

IMG_6973IMG_6946 IMG_6935
some Toronto, some Niagara, and a whole bunch of excitement at Tracy’s in Hamilton.

Thank you everyone for your help, and a big thanks to the Ishikawa family for coming all the way to Canada!

A few days ago we were very lucky to have a little bit of Matt and Graham action.

Kiko, Noa and I went to lunch with two of my very good friends. It had been a long time since we have all hung out, so it was absolutely amazing to see them both and for them to finally get a chance to meet Noa.

Matt has a website and Graham is thinking about putting one up, so if it is ok, how bout we adds some links? let me know!

In the meantime here are a few photos from that day. There were more but I don’t think that Graham nor Matt would appreciate them being put up as they didn’t come out so great…. (not blaming anyone, ahem kiko ahem) … I’m just joking. We all know that any bad photos on our site belong to Lee. (who is in Japan, but thats besides the point) 😉

IMG_6847IMG_6864
Matt, Graham, thanks for lunch! As always great to see you and Noa loved meeting you both. He told me with his words.

(nice hair by the way noa. i blame that on kiko’s people.)
