Mom and Dad,
Do you remeber Masaru? He was the one who ate with us when you first arrived in Japan. He is my best friend here and had his wedding ceremony last Sunday. Afterwards, we went to a Tex/Mex Restaurant/Bar. They had a mechanical bull and the cowboy announcer made me go for a ride. I made the finals but Masaru actually won by riding for 58 seconds. I was in severe pain so hopped off after about 20 seconds. I’ll let the pictures explain for me.
See you all soon!!!
Matt
PS: Two days later my thighs and back are still extremely sore.
