hi,
ReplyDeletehope you are alright.
my little brother is in okinawa, I have tried to call him but his phone is off, but i guess the network is down in japan. do u know who i need to contact in order to get hold of him? please contact me if you have any more information regarding this. my email: kavians@gmail.com
best regards,
