Golden Week Party!

On Saturday I had another party at my place to celebrate Golden Week...or just to make use of my large apartment. This party was a bit different, however, in that I was able to bring together different groups of friends: from school, from Kyoto, and my former student who just got married.

Altogether, there were twelve people. Back: Miguel & Kayo (Kyoto), Mi Jin (friend of Mike's), Daryl, Yuka, and some guy.
Front: Daniel & Kurara (just married), Mike, Kathy, Brian and Wil (Kathy's son and daughter-in-law)

It was a very fun party and I think everyone got on very well. Mike and Yuka entertained us all as a kind of comedy duo, with Mike spurring on Yuka to disclose information about her love-life, later even adopting the persona of an interviewer on a tv show with a panel audience. Quite funny. Here's a pic from that part.


My apartment really is great for entertaining, but really is too big for just me. So I'll probably be moving this summer, something a bit smaller and definitely cheaper. Maybe closer to Osaka. I'll still be able to host visitors, but just not in so spacious an apartment.





Tomorrow may hold another day of rock climbing for me...there's another gym that's closer that I want to check out, see how it looks. I may go there, but we'll have to see what I feel like, as it's my last day before going back to work on Thursday. (BOO-HOO!!!)

Be well. Aloha.
