He gave me shelter when I was broke. He helped me find a job in Tokyo. He let me stay at his place for free even when I finally found a job and offered to pay rent. He corrected most of my blog threads. Together we philosophised about life, enjoyed lots of films and checked out Tokyo’s bars, festivals \u2026<\/p>\n

Brandon, my \u2013 as he would say \u2013 ‘brother from another mother’ will go back to the states after his two years in Japan. But since I am in a position to give at least something back I am treating him and his wonderful girlfriend, Natalie (who corrected three of my blog entries) for two nights here in Manza onsen hotel.<\/p>\n
