Party,party,and party.

This week,Three parties were on schedule. Two of those were farewell parties and another was regular party of summer.

First Party (the 24th of July, Tuesday)
This is a Farewell party for kristin. She was a instructor of akashi ESS. The following pictures shows how it proceed. And you can catch the the atmosphere of it.
I have enjoyed myself so much her teaching (or maybe I can say I enjoyed her performing,sometimes her dancing during her class.) Last September, She came just after the graduation of UCLA, so she had a university student's atmosphere at that time , still she has it now. yes, I always felt from her a typical American Californian University student. That was amazingly happy and cheerful. It is a "Don't worry, Be happy" style character. I like the way she showed us in every moment. So, when I was informed that she was leaving Japan this summer, I tremendously shocked.
Again and again, I have to say Goodbye and plan the Farewell party. Just 3 month's before, We had a party for Neil 's farewell. Again We set it. But planning and organizing party had always saved me so far,Because during the party, I always busy enough , eventually I cannot have a time to be emotional. That saved me over and over times from having a feeling of cry.

とはいえ、別れは寂しいね。 Good-bye kristin. Keep your a happy and charming smile.
OK. enjoy yourself the following picts.

Second party (the 25th of July,Wednesday)
This party is a Regular Summer Party of MEC(Mukoh's English Club・向英語クラブ).Every year, we hold this party before the summer break. Since this club has almost 40 years history member's average age is around 65 years- old. Take a look at the member's head, Grey or partially or totally bold.(Wow.....) Happily this time,we could invite Kristin and Shu-san. Definitely two ladies encouraged old guys literally.
What a contrast! Beasts and beauties. KristinThird Party(the 27th of July,Friday)

This is a Farewell party for Olen (Miss Kwek).

Talking about Olen, there are so many memories and stuffs to describe. Sports gym,Simanami-kaido,Shokusai-kan,MacDonald,Daiei. kakogawa-church.etc

Except Shimanami,most of stuffs are daily chores. In Shokusai-kan, she always bought Apples or Oranges. After shopping, each time she reported me how cheap or how expensive they were. In Daiey super market,she was always enthusiastic to buy salmon.Next day she always told me how it was delicious or how she loves salmon. In sports gym,she surprisingly ran almost 1.5 hours to lose weight and finally she succeeded. Now she is dramatically slim. In MacDonald,she always told me how she loves Jesus and talked a lot about Steve or her mother. and so on and on.(なつかしいね。)

Happily she will stay Japan for a while, but not school.
