Clinton's Story
Hello Yoko just got your message
today, 6/9/09, you might say my storie
in Japan reads kind of like an Odyssey,
came to Japan 3 years after graduating
from Ingrahm High on a tourist visa &
$500.00. I first stayed in Yokohama
near the port where alot of sailors
were & many tourists. I first got
a job in Ikebukuro in north central
Tokyo as an English Teacher &
acquired a 6 month work visa. Life
was quite adventurous for me then,
met an Irish American Frank Lyons
from Chicago, he was quite a character,
photographic memory & read & travcled through Asia alot, a former airforce
Vietnam war vet stationed in Thailand,
during the war, put a h...Expand for more
ole in a B-52
wing by mistake just before it took
off.
We would walk for miles through
Tokyo`s winding narrow streets talking
about everything from politics to
romance, we`d walk into bookstores,
he was so prolific a reader that the
bookstore came alive through his vivid
recollection of the authors & their past lives & the subjects they wrote
about,we`d spend alot of time in
movie theaters as well,he was very
keen on the Directors & actors .
Coffee Shops was where we`d swap
stories for hours & hours, Frank had
alot to talk about.
Well Sachiko this is the first part of
my storie, if you like it please let
me know.
