Friends


Great shot of Damien
During my time living in the apartment, I had met two friends Damien and Yukochan who were boyfriend girlfriend.  Damien was from Belfast and Yukochan was from Japan.  Two really nice people and good to talk to.  I would spend some time with them at their place.  They actually lived on the top floor of the building.  I enjoyed their company and had learned a little from Damien as he was pretty smart.

I knew Yukochan was a little sad one time after her friends from Japan came to visit them.  I saw it in her eyes, and I don't blame her for being sad for missing her family and friends in Japan.  I would too.  Japan isn't just across the street.  Damien learned a few Japanese words from what I remembered.  After a few years after I moved into my apartment, they moved out and into a house on Glasgow Terrace.

Damien and I chatted on Facebook in 2010 or something like that and he was mentioning that he left Ireland around 2005 and is now living in Japan.  I think that is great.  Whatever makes him happy.  I had read a few articles written by him about Japan and the radiation and all that and he worries about his two kids.
