Hiroe is studying to teach Japanese language in China and hopes to someday visit Disneyland in America. She teachers English to local foreigners and lives in a beautiful house outside Sanomia, it's a stone's throw from the ocean where she walks her little doggy every day. She loves this dog like a baby, she showed me three - count em three - photo albums dedicated to this dog. Mostly it was more shots like these ones, but there were a couple great snaps of the dog in silly hats. Apparently dressing small dogs in flamboyant fashion is an international craze - and my parents just thought I was trying to make my childhood puppy gay.
