It's a small world.

This past weekend,  we had ourselves some Canadian guests.  Not just from Canada but from Whistler British Columbia.  Only 30 minutes from my home town. 
       They had come to Japan as supervisors for a student exchange program with about ten students spending a week with host families and I apse just soaking up the culture of rich  resort town of x Karuizawa.
       The real surprise came when I found out that one of our guests' husband is a semi frequent customer at the store my mother works at. So they know each other somewhat well.
         Other than the Canadian connection,  Hoshinoko has just finished hosting some competitors for a rained out tennis tournament, and our lunch service has become quite popular lately.  Often we find ourselves with around ten guests a day. Though lately we have been slow due to the typhoons (hurricanes) passing close to Japan.  We don't get much effect here other than lots of rain, but it is enough to stop people from going out. 
     That's about it for me.  Until next time,  stay classy Internet.
