Kevin "Can I Push the Button?" Chan
Bean Counter. Is the director of audits at CDE. Known to enjoy exotic Japanese liquids especially when they are 1,000 yen for all you can drink. Co-owns a cute monkey with his daughter. Never leave him alone in a chopstick store. He will never forgive himself for not buying the cool Giants hat that Jim got at the Tokyo Dome.
Alastair "Right On/No Way" Inman
"I was just joking with you." Known to shoot hundreds of ten second clips of video that may never actually be watched. Has hints of a British or is that Canadian accent? Huge asset to the trip when he figured out how to actually use a Japanese phone card. Known to say "Holy Schmoley" often throughout the day.
Jim" Shut the Window" Jordan
The mad blogger. Almost killed by a Kyoto cab driver when he mistakenly assumed he could roll down the window of the cab. Also nearly was killed by young girl in a kimono when he mistakenly stepped back on the wooden floor in his shoes. Enjoys having the group in his room for Internet parties every night.
Jose "Class Clown" Navarro
Can find the humor in any and everything. Life of the party. Thinks many things are "trippy." Has a deep affection for cranes. See the You Tube video "Jose and the Cranes of Peace."
Deb "Smooth Elevator" Sigman
We like to think of her as Deputy Deb. Loves climbing stairs for exercise. Enjoys wearing Japanese sandals that barely fit half of each foot. Recently was seen dancing and singing to "Straight Outta Compton" while standing in a 100 yen store in Kyoto. Also enjoys watching anime while eating Kyoto vegetables.
Mark "Mr. Tofu" Teeters
Sometimes, though not often actually, late and whether or not he needs to be, he is sorry about it. Our resident vegetarian. His favorite foods are tofu and green tea ice cream. He makes a mean tofu. Had the nerve to sing "Country Roads" before hundreds of Japanese children. His mind is never far from the twins. Definitely the kindest and nicest one of all of us.
Mitzi-san
Takes care of this bunch of unruly teenagers with such unbelievable style and grace. We love her.
