Our boys

(From L to R/clockwise) Yoshida-san, Kuwabara-san, Hirose, Seki-san, Kenji, Yamazaki-san, Ito-san, and Sato-san (in the middle, leaning on the duck)
**For those of you that don't know, -san is a term you add to the end of someone's name to show respect. All of the names with 'san' on them are their last names, because typically Japanese people introduce themselves with their last name. The two names, Hirose and Kenji, were the 2 younger guys. Younger people usually introduce themselves with their first name outside of business and school. So there you go--you've all learned a little about Japanese culture. This is an educational blog, you know.

Yes, they are as funny as they look. These guys were in our tour group. We loved them and even managed to learn all their names (which we were very proud of, because Japanese names are hard).
