Rin in Tokyo: Goodbye parties!

March 12 2012

This is me cooking some meat and veggies for my friends and senpai (older ppl).

The month of March is filled with good byes because how in western countries a school year starts in September and ends in June/July, Japanese school year starts in April and ends in March.

Many of my senpais were going to graduate from school and move on in their career (Both undergraduate and masters).

And as for the left ones we are supposed to congratulate them by holding many parties.

This is the good bye/thank you party for my zemi.

Everyone brought some homemade food.

This was probably one of the tastiest lasagna I've ever had.

This is the food I made. Tomato/basil/garlic on baguette.

Don't know why but we like to slap each other in the back.

There were also graduation movies played at the party.

The senpais also had speeches for us to hear. Some people were in tears.

There were gift giving and card giving as well.

This is the card our teacher got from the graduating students.

After lots of drinking, eating, talking, crying, some of us stayed until the morning and slept on the sofa bed.

And from the party, walking to go eat some breakfast, we dropped a huge 3L bottle of japanese wine on the ground. D:

My breakfast at a family restaurant.

One of the best breakfast I had in the world.

I'm not talking about the food itself but the people and the conversation I had at this breakfast made me laugh so hard. I really had fun talking to my senpais.
