Momotaro Sept Auction Pics

[Brian]

Sorry about not getting these up sooner, but have a corrupted microdrive for my digital camera, and it's taken a while to sort through the photos.

From left to right:

1. Max from Singapore and Mr. Maeda inspecting tosai

2. Dr. Ang (sp) and Kevin Pham (right) from Genki Nishikigoi

3. Mr. Chen from Taiwan, Mr. Maeda, and Max sharing some laughs at the dinner party

4. Nisai sanke from day 2

5. Longtime Koi-Bito supporters the Horimoto's from Hawaii...great to finally meet you all! As well as our very own posters Aquitori and Erwin-san.

Thanks for the pics Brian, I see the auction site has moved to the new fish house.

You asked for it Mike,

Brian Lau of Hong Kong and Mike Snaden in short pants. You can just imagine him back as a schoolboy now, can't you?

.....ninjin san in a blue t-thirt!

[Andrew]

Yes indeed! No wonder Hoshino san looks worried!
That pic on the mantlepiece would keep the kids away from the fire! ;-)
