Japan's
summer vacation has officially arrived! This means that while everybody else is heading to the
beach or the
beer garden, I will be in class or in front of a computer most days dutifully completing my
MA.

Columbia has some interesting professors. The
debonair gentleman on my left is
Dr. Tatsuya. When not teaching at
Columbia University Teachers College, he can be found jetsetting around the world
interpreting for
Fukuda,
Bush, and other
bigwigs.
