Viewing Notes

This was a field trip event for my Japanese class! Ron came over and we picked up one of my classmates at OCC and headed down to Facets to meet other students and my teacher as well as Shannon, who I invited. Fun event and screening the movie version of the excellent J-drama. The English title is Train Man.
