Apologies and a Party

I've been bad. I've been away too long, I've maybe been with other blogs. I promise to be here more often from now on. I can make it better. I can become a better blogger. I will try my hardest and never let you down again.

Pictures, and lots of them. From the Christmas Party.

Rob (Mount Allison), Rob's host mother, and Barbara (from New York) before the doors open.
Miwako (my nihongo partner), my host mother, and Barbara again.
Me and Yoyo (U of T, and actually a Honger but terribly cute in a kimono)
Wei Wei (Chinese, but goes to schoo in Australia) sang some J-Pop song that I didn't know. Michelle (not pictured, also Chinese, but goes to UBC) accompanied on the piano.
John (from Taiwan) played Sakura, a traditional Japanese song, on his guitar. It was amazing.

A blurry me and Kinu (she's Japanese, and her name means silk, which is awesome). She gave me a Doraemon cell-phone-dangley today.

There was maybe 5 minutes of dance-party-ness near the end of the night. The entertainment is laid on pretty thick in Japan, but any given event never lasts very long. It's like twitch-gaming. This is... who I wonder?

This is Stephan (of Sweden, or maybe Norway) and Stephan's girlfriend (a Japanese) doing their sexy snakey dance.

From right to left, we have Marie (from a college in France associated with Lyon Deux), my host brother Kenta, my host mother again, and Marie's host mother, who invited me over for dinner.

Eric (from Queen's) and I sang a couple songs of our own. It was a bunch of fun. You'd be surprised at the number of people who know the words to If I Had a Million Dollars.
