<-- My co-worker Shari -- These photos were at a party she thru for her brother's "Yakidoshi 41st Birthday Party " -- Not really sure, but in Japanese tradition, the men and women have "special" birthdays to celebrate during their lifetime. Shari had organized a surprise party for her brother, and went all out !! Ya know, how the Island folks LOVE vegas... welll, Shari rented a "Vegas On The Go Casino" for the party, where everyone got $ 2000 in play money, and the top 14 players that had the most money, got to select gift prices ---it was like we were in vegas!! These hawaiians got soooo-- into the gambling with fake money--- I can't even imagine how they get with real money in real Vegas town !! LOL LOL it was very interesting... got a little "cultured" in the Japanese birthday traditions.
