From my trip to Denver with Lisa Worthington-Brown two weeks ago. I'm in Japan all week, I should be fully mobile - my google voice allows me to make voice calls for free anywhere in the world, I can also send/receive texts - all I need is a wifi signal. In Japan they're harder to come by then you would think. The best way to get a hold of me is email: info (at) clanegessel (dot) com

Japan - Part One - Guam/Kagoshima

2012-01-30T06:05:00.000-08:00

The bathrooms all have this toilet that's in the ground, not quite sure what that's about. All the cultural differences are really interesting, they love Americans.. at least, what they know about Americans from the big screen. It's really quite different here, beyond the obvious translation barriers. Being a communication major, I feel like what they are trying for is more than just wanting to be an American, more than just chasing their idea of the "American dream". It goes far beyond people wanting to be whiter (yes, they sell soaps and lotions that make your skin whiter here) and imitating western culture... I think they love the American paradigms and ideals, the idea that you can have whatever you want, you just have to work for it. So far the trip has been nothing but wonderful, I was able to see my friends in Hawaii, my buddy Kristie in Guam and Caitlin in Kagoshima. It's great here, everyone is nice and many more people speak English then I thought. It is, however, the most expensive place I've been. A nice lunch of Pho or Teriyaki that in the states would be $10 is about $40 here, it's just insane. And all the portions are smaller. At the grocery store the largest unit of milk they sell is a liter (3.78 liters in a gallon), and it's about $3 per liter. All the food we buy in the states they have here, but in much smaller portions and much more expensive. They sell pound bags of potatoes that are $6, snicker bars are about $2, everything is just much more expensive. The landscape is beautiful, it reminds me a lot of Costa Rica- at least here in Southern Japan. I'll be heading up north this weekend; hitting hopefully Fukuoka, Nagoya, Hiroshima, then Kyoto and finally Tokyo. Looking forward to taking in all I can of Japan.

In Japan

Yup, I'm in Japan for the next 10 days, I've already hit Guam and Hawaii.. I'm fully mobile though, with google voice I can make and receive calls and texts on my Seattle number, and I should have internet access the whole time. Back in Seattle on Feb 8th

Stephanie and Kyle - Calvary Christian - Jan 7th, 2012

2012-01-21T08:00:00.000-08:00

I met Stephanie years ago when I started doing charity work for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, her and Kyle are both amazing people. Kyle and Stephanie met at Mars Hill Church in Ballard. Stephanie volunteers in the church nursery where she looked after Kyle's nephew (not knowing Kyle at the time). Kyle's nephew led Stephanie to a friendship with Kyle's sister (the nephew's mom); Kyle's sister then began (unashamedly) trying to set Kyle and Stephanie up. A few hang outs led to a few dates, and a few dates led to dating, engagement and then marriage!
