final goodbye

Tokyo, 2009.03.20
Those of us who stayed for the end of the intensive Japanese program went for a goodbye at a Yakiniku restaurant in Shibuya. Another social event essentially conducted in Japanese. I've never exactly found the thought daunting, but it's a challenge to be sure. Most of us will now go on to other cities and countries, with only me and the various Korean classmates staying in Tokyo.
After dinner we had to phone around to make reservations for karaoke. In the mean time we screwed around in an arcade making these group photos.
