MR. UEHARA AND FAMILY
They usually come to Palau twice a year. This year, they came in March 22-25 and July 24-27. They like Disney movies theme songs, Carpenters and Beatles. They know about my trip to Istanbul in Aug. 27-Sept. 10, 2012 that's why they didn't come within that date. They will be back again in Palau in January 2013. (Photo by Roberto Hernandez)
