...which is quite literally 'cheese' (another of those borrowed phrases that keep turning up).

As is probably evident by now, we went bowling the other night, because Geoff (back row, 5th from left) popped back to Nakatsu after leaving Nova in february to live in NY with his girlfriend. As the American visa rules say that you can only stay in the country for 90 days at a time, and for no more than 180 in the year, he hopped on a plane to Japan for 2 weeks so that he can go back and start the other 90 days later. With so many cameras, the guy from the bowling alley was a little confused, and it took about 5 minutes to sort him out, by which time we were all smiled out, but he persevered and got there in the end. I can't remember who won, but it sure wasn't me...
