Joey Goertz > A day spent in Otaru, Hokkaido. This port city has some of the best, and most interesting sushi I've had so far.

Joey Goertz > The night before Halloween, eight of us friends got together to carve up some pumpkins. What I love is how unique everyones jack o' lantern turned out. After everyone took their pictures of there pumpkins, we put them around the living room and talked into the night.

Joey Goertz > Getting Ready for Halloween 

Despite the numerous festivals and celebrations that take place in Japan, Halloween unfortunately is not one of them. Last week, I bought a nice little orange pumpkin and had my friends Yuriko and Hitoshi to join me in carving it into a Jack-o’-lantern. This was Yuriko’s first time, so it was really great seeing her expression when we put the candle in the newly carved pumpkin. After that, we took the seeds from the pumpkin, fried them up, and ate them around the glowing Jack-o’-lantern.

Joey Goertz > I wish I had gotten this one a bit sharper. To get this photo, I had my camera hanging off a tree, and using my remote, triggered the shutter. It was pretty windy, so that’s my excuse for this one not being tack sharp.
Joey Goertz > Hokkaido is now experiencing its seasonal change into Autumn. I have to say that Japanese maples have to be some of the most beautiful trees in the world, especially in Autumn.

Joey Goertz > Abracadabra!

In Japan, the people are all about the fireworks. This month, the city of Obihiro, about an hour away from my town, had the second largest fireworks display in Japan for their yearly Obon festival. I, for whatever reason, decided to stay at home that day. I wasnt in the mood to deal with the huge crowds. This weekend, a bunch of teachers at my school had a BBQ, which included a lot of beef and a lot of little fireworks. All the teachers kids were running around with sparklers; I couldn't resist taking a couple of shots to make up for not seeing the real fireworks.
Joey Goertz > This is my friend and co-worker Abe Sensei. Hes been helping me out with setting up my new life in Japan.
Joey Goertz > Ive just moved to a small community in Hokkaido, Northern Japan, to teach English. This is all I have to pictures so far; this is part of one of the local temples in my area. I love how green everything is here.
