So the two solid weeks of goodbyes before I leave started with force at a Sayonara party for the leaving and remaining JETs in my prefecture. I thought I'd cast the evening in a reflective light by going black and white with my photos (also because my entire outfit was black and white and I can't stop the urge to continue to coordinate).
It was a great night, in a nice club with good music and all my favorite people. The day started off with a quite afternoon at Claire's who supplied me with the movies to let my inner 80's child out. I've had great times at her place and will miss the family-like vibe we'd create for brunches on Sunday, and everything she owns from Muji. Mecha Arigats Ru!

Sappy Sepia
Here's me, Chris, and Natasha, oops, I mean Amy. Both of them are staying another year in Japan and I will miss them but feel comforted by the fact they are adding just that extra little bit of fashion sense to the teacher staffrooms in Japan, who need all the help they can get. Chris leads by example with a stunning 100 yen tie, reflecting brillantly here.
Under the Disco Ball
Folks on the dance floor, Johanna, Chris, and Abby were in top boggie form.*
*Abby not actually pictured here, but more like vividly remembered.

Mike and Phil
Can't get much cooler than these two, between the skinny tie and the fauxhawk...kakoii!!!

When in Rome...
I do the peace sign now without thinking anymore, I need to be broken of this shamefully cute habit. But being around Chris doesn't help, he is all to willing to throw himself into the cute of Japan as well...

So this is what most of Japan looked like the day we left for the beach in Tottori. Rainy season finally hit. The not so mighty Takahashi river is flowing at maxium capacity...
On the Road
This was as sunny as it got on our small adventure to the Sea of Japan on the Tottori coast. Philip and I are standing in front of a green devil (oni in Japanese). He was much more menacing in person.
One Summer Night
This was a night spent at a Japanese beer garden, usually found on the roof of a department store. Everyone was having a grand time, and there were enough balloons for everybody.
Sweet Helium
Not many people know about Matt’s brief career as a children’s clown in Korea. His hair was green back then and he went by Chuckles MaHeHeHe.
