These 5 Japanese (one left earlier) enjoyed my Japanese and American music on Saturday, Nov. 09, 2013. All their requested songs (American and Japanese) I was able to play without looking at the songbook. These 4 guys in this photo gave me $10.00 each after giving them all my card. When I say, "Please come back to Palau again someday," they answered surely they will come back again to Palau. "Matta, ne!"
I'm so sorry that I didn't even have a chance to get their names.

5 JAPANESE GUYS ENJOYED MY MUSIC
ASIA Pacific Coordinator of Pentecostal Missionary Church of Christ (4th Watch) Pastor Gallagher 'Gali' Concepcion visited Palau Locale from November 07-11, 2013.
During his stay, I was able to attend Morning Devotion on Friday, Saturday and Monday. Prayer meeting on Friday, Sunday School/Services, 4th Watchers Service and Evangelistic Night on Sunday evening.
The Saturday Morning Devotion is the most hard for me because I was able to sleep only 3 hours (1:30-4:30am) and sleep again after breakfast (7-9am), teach Anthea keyboard from 9:10-10:55am and Shinji from 11am-1:00pm. Have quick lunch and teach chess to Dichem Tmetchul from 2-4pm.
I sleep again from 4:15-6:15pm. Took a shower, have dinner and play piano at Waves Restaurant from 7-9pm. Got no tip from there but very lucky at Breeze Bar when I play keyboard, there are 5 Japanese guys in front of me.
At first, they don't appreciate my music but when I play "Sukiyaki", they began to sing. I followed it up with "Oribia O Kikinagara" and some more Japanese songs. Then I gave them my 2 songbooks (American and Japanese songs) and they started to enjoy when all their requested songs were played and they sing-along with it.
Then I gave them one by one my card after the 2nd guy from left gave me $10.00 tip. When I gave the card to the other 4, three of them gave me $10.00 each with the young Japanese guy in this photo being the last one to give me tip.
SEE YOU ALL AGAIN SOMEDAY IN PALAU!!!
