And then it hits you...
Finally, I feel a pang of sadness. Tonight we had mine and Yoski's farewell party. It was nothing like I'd expected. I didn't have to give a sentimental speech, no-one said that much about us leaving, and we just drank and ate and sung our hearts out at Karaoke. Hamamura san, a very cool Beatles fanatic, and I, sung two Beatles Medolies. I really enjoyed that. He did the Paul and I did the Lennon. Yoski sung a cool Japanese tune. Matsuoka san sung, "Have you ever been mellow?" by Olivia Newton John, the tune of which is staying engrained in my brain. Have you ever been lonely~~~?Todoroki san, the manager sung lots of Enka ( Japanese blues ) note for note perfect. Another manager was very drunk and completely different from his usual self. And Yamaguchi san and Watanabe san sung some Enka and oldies, again note for note perfect. It seems people in Japan can sing. It was good fun.
They're a very nice bunch and I'll miss them. But actually I'll see them again so I won't miss them at all!
The manager who was very drunk and not his usual self was very entertaining. He disregarded all social customs and asked all the ladies their age, then started chatting them up, and questioned them about their first kiss etc. Then he went on to tell us about a 100 Yen Noodle restaurant round the corner. I amost understood what was happening!
Anyway....a lady bought me a train pass holder, so I'm happy as can be...
