Crokinole with Etsuko and Sota

Here is a video of the house crokinole champion Sota winning the first ever Victoria House tournament. Estuko got second place, and I came in last.

Crokinole is a fun game we like to play.

Yuichi Hanai Esquire

Here is a touching moment for young Mr. Yuichi Hanai. He lived with me in Victoria House for a couple of months in the summer of 2009. He was a Japanese university student who came to Canada to learn English. Yuichi was going to relocate to Toronto and we had a good-bye party for him.
Sota is a friend Yuichi made while here is Victoria and he wrote and sang this song for Yuichi on the back porch of my house.

Here is Sota singing “True Friends”

Is Yuichi crying at the end of the song? I think I see tears . . . We miss you too!
