I Married the Stevie Wonder of Japan

June 15, 2008 on 9:05 am | In General Musing |

Today was Father’s day in Japan. Same as here. (What are the odds of THAT happening?)

The host family my son, Alan is living with while he studies there had a typical Japanese celebratory feast:

Tonkatsu (breaded fried pork cutlet), sashimi, spaghetti with marinara, empanadas, green tea-flavored cake and a piece of smoked salmon Alan brought from home and gave as a father’s day gift.

A little UN on a plate.

After dinner he played our CDs for the family. Shinji-san, his host father opined that the picture of Mike on the back cover of the Balkanarama Live CD looks like Stevie Wonder. At first we were confused. Mike, bald white guy looks like Stevie Wonder, cornrowed black guy? Then we were amused. I guess we all look alike.

But then, out of curiosity, I looked at the picture on the back of the CD and looked up some pictures of Steve Wonder and holy cow! Separated at birth!
