Parents Visit in 1993

While I was living in Kanazawa, Japan as an exchange student from 1992 to 1993 both my parents came to visit for two-weeks. I arrived in Kanazawa weighing at some 300 pounds. I left Japan around the weight I now weigh which is some 120 pounds lighter than 300. In the months that elapsed from my arrival and my parents' my clothes got progressively larger and larger on me. Even at my slimmed down weight I was still large as a Japanese, and I could not find, nor frankly afford, new jeans or pants. I mention all this to help explain why you see me in these shots in some pretty ill-fitting clothes. I should also note I was never much of a snappy dresser and spending most of my days in a school uniform did little to remedy this deficiency.
