An especially lovely stone bridge in Shikinaen Royal Garden, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The highlight of this trip to Okinawa was visiting the Shikinan Royal Garden with Dr. Tomiko Hokama, Dean of the Graduate School of Health Sciences.

Shikinaen was the largest second residence for the Ryukyu royal families. The garden and villa were constructed in 1799 to entertain envoys of the Chinese emperor. It is one of Okinawa's 9 World Heritage sites and a designated national place of scenic beauty. The design of the garden encourages visitor to walk around a central pond with two small stone bridges and a hexagonal gazebo, Rokkaku-do.

It was a genuine honor for Danny to serve as a Visiting Scholar in the Graduate School of Health Sciences at the University of the Ryukyus in Okinawa.

Joshua in his very high tech classroom. It was a genuine pleasure for me to meet a few dozen of his students when I visited his school.

Danny was honored to meet Joshua's principal earlier in the month. As is usual in Korea, he left the meeting with several gifts.

Drinking beer with my students.

A coed recruiting other students for the Yonsei Martial Arts Club. I'm certain the short skirt and cute smile were sufficient motivation for several students to sign up who had absolutely no interest in martial arts.
