Kia Kaha Ra (Be Strong)

Hello all. This is the song title from Michael Campbell's website. It's a lovely song to listen to and it's in Maori language. To listen to it, point your browser to http://www.michaelcampbell.co.nz/flash/kia_kaha_ra.swf




But enough of that, here are more pictures!
















These pictures are from North Saijo school trip end of last month. It took us approximately 2 hours by car and we attended Arts Conference: Towards Greater Self Expression in Arts. The school is located in a rural area North of Hiroshima Ken(prefecture). Seen in the photo on the left, some artwork by the students and on the right are : Nakamura sensei, yourstruly, Salinee, Ari Purnawan and Aruna. For your info, about 2 of the persons in the picture were car-sick all the journey from Hirodai (Hiroshima Daigaku/University) but I ain't tellin who !;)

Who's that girl?
