Of Graduations & Inebriations
Yikes. Sorry I made you wait. Couldn’t help it. I’ve got lots of stuff going on. (Planning various things, starting an exercise regimen, etc.) Anyway, the first set of pictures is from school on the day of graduation. Fun!
The second set of pictures introduces you to the world of the company-based / school-based nomikai (飲み会), or drinking party. They frequently happen on weeknights, and they happen multiple times during the same month. This is the nature of the schedule. They also cost between ￥3500 and ￥5000 depending on the extravagance. This one was a ￥4500 nomikai. Excellent.
Hope you enjoyed it, folks. I am working on the video portion now, so stay tuned over the rest of this week. 
Also, I have made it a personal policy not to include any closeups of my students. I think it’s better for them, and safer for me. I really want to show you cool stuff about Japan, but I also want to act responsibly with my photos. Also, this website is public, and known to my employers – so they know what I post here. I think transparency is key, so I don’t get anybody (myself included) into trouble. 
Um, yes, that was just for your edification. Right. Move along, now. Get back to work.
