Sotsugyou Omedetou - May 21 2007



Finally the semester is over! I could not see an end to it! I did not have any other time but studying, preparing papers or presentations! In the past week I had: 4 exams, 2 oral presentations and 4 papers due. Who says end of semester also says parties, and the parties started on Thursday right after my last exam and continue this week until Saturday! I am kind of getting tired of beer, I actually created an INtolerance to beer... now I am on water or juice... here is a run down of the parties:

Thursday May 17:

Dinner and drinking at Torikizoku, a nice izakaya with food items and very large beer mugs for 3$ a piece! Then we headed over to nomihodai (all you can drink) karaoke...







Friday May 18:

Break - I watched a movie called "GO" (again) about a North Korean raised and born in Japan.


Saturday May 19:

Graduation ceremony in the morning and then reception with free booze and food! I enjoyed the food very much and some people obviously enjoyed the booze too much.







Dinner at Niju Maru, all you can eat and drink... Very good Yakuniku (BBQ) and I didn't drink very much, but there were some drinking competitions and one Japanese went at it and felt very very bad after (poor him).






Sunday May 20:


Picnic at a park in Kozenji... spent the afternoon there peacefully just relaxing.

Monday May 21:

Went to another branch of Niju Maru but this time "a la carte" and the food was great, didn't drink that much either, but then went to a PURIKURA place, which is a big fad in Japan where mostly girls go in this complex machine to have pictures taken of them and then make drawings on them (see photos to understand) that was a must for me in Japan. Then we headed to a friend's place to watch a movie called "Doraheita" that I purchased in a videoclub here.
