I had my last bounenkai with the Senmaya Education office this week. A bounenkai is a party that offices hold in order to celebrate and forget the previous year. Like everything else in Japan, it all comes down to drinking until you puke. Seriously, other than the speeches and the games(and the Chinese dancers), it was all about the bottles of whiskey. Not that there is anything wrong with that, if puking three times the following day was an indication of my level of participation. Oh, and if you are wondering why I added the picture, it’s because I took that from my hotel room. Yes, the Hotel is right on the ocean.
I’m going to miss working with my education office. They close down in March thanks to the merger between my town and Ichinoseki, and I will probably have to drive out to Ichinoseki on Monday mornings for my office time. I have a beer in my hand raised to them right now. I will never forget my time with the people there. They were really great to work with. I hope the future treats you all well. Cheers!
