I wish all the best for everyone!!!
After moving into a dorm, I feel mentally and physically relaxed, and it has been great so far.
The month of eventful December seemed endless with "忘年会(bounenkai)”, a year-end party. The word literally means a party to forget that year. Luckily, I was able to survive through all the parties in December without forgetting much, and successfully make it to 2008. I ended up forming a social event every Thursday as well.
But I definitely missed my family and friends in Hawaii. Instead, I visited Korea and spent time with my family there. It was a great way to end a year.
our international social event on every Thursday night! (usually in Shibuya)
Christmas dinner in one of the dorms.
People cooked food from their own country.
sorry... could not cook locomoco or kalua pig.
My father and I climbed up a mountain behind our house in Korea to see the sunrise on January 1st. a snowy road to the mountaintop.
