Two Samson Yee photos

of yours truly in Kawasaki. When I was in England, I found the English quite chatty and friendly, unlike the stereotype, and in Japan, I keep discovering the Japanese to be very open.

At the top, the gentleman in the middle is from Okinawa, and the man on the right is Ryo Isobe, music critic and author of a book on Kawasaki.

At the bottom, I'm being hugged by the bar owner. She's an ethnic Korean.

Ryo, Samson and I had wandered into this bar without knowing anyone there.
