Conrad, The United States
What am I wearing today? I'm wearing my Japan national soccer jersey. It's not really a jersey. It's more of a polo shirt. I bought it right during the World Cup and I was a proud supporter of Japan's team. Unfortunately, they didn't get as far as I had wanted them to. I'm also wearing some shorts just because it's a pretty hot day here on the 8th of September and we're going to go play basketball. Right, Todd?
