The Neighbor

Some of you have probably heard us mention our neighbor, Mr. Iha (aka Iha-san). He usually buys the kids a drink from the "quatah machine" every day (see below). One thing there is no shortage of in Okinawa is drink machines. You should never have to go thirsty here. They are pretty much on every corner. We have one within 50ft of our front door. So he gives the kids each 100 yen and tells them to go buy a drink. In this pic he must be helping Bri with her Japanese homework. He calls Brianna "numbah one friendo" and Erin "numbah two friendo."

This is usually the drink of choice: C.C. Lemon. It is especially delicious and has the vitamin C content of 70 lemons. There is often several in our fridge that we aren't able to keep up with.
