2020 - Giles and Paula go to Japan

[Chris]

You allowed a small child to hold your ice cream, expecting to get it back?

C'mon, Giles, that's a rookie move. You're better than that.

[Giles]

She has her own, so I thought I was safe…..

Most of the Kojima team. Thes guys and gals main responsibility (other than running the shop) is to QC products for shipment to IHUK and then pack and ship them.  A year ago, there were just 2 of them, in a month Sarina starts a 3 day week back in the store after her "I've had some kids" break…..This really is an indication of how IH has grown outside of Japan....

Some of the Kojima team packing stuff for IHUK…...

Haraki making a point….

In the evening H took us out to dinner with Mr "Heavy Heavy Ounce" and Mr "Heavy Nell"

Not me, framed against a Kojima sunset (apparently 3rd best place in Japan for sunsets)

Dinner was amazing, I remembered to take pics of the first 3 courses, then forgot for the last 3 or 4 ::)

Is H wearing an olive IHM-27 in that picture of him making a point?  Jacket looks great!

[Giles]

He is, yes.  And we are re-releasing ODG and Black this year….

[Giles]

@jordanscollected:

Did Haraki like the idea of the OD buttons for "pimping"?

I ran out of time to ask, sorry.  I'll bring it up by email as soon as I can…..

I've been waiting for this in olive since I had to pass on the original.  I'm pumped!
