Thanks for the link 116! Spokane's been a pretty welcoming town for Japanese visitors. I've even visited Japan to spend some time at my middle school's sister school in Nishinomiya. By all accounts I've heard Rui is enjoying his stay here so far. Looks like Nakagawa is too (although I'm not sure if he's Japanese or American when it comes to his home country). GU's athletic department has been pretty welcoming to all.
