Gokkon!!

[mayao]

Well my first Japanese Gokkon, turned out well! I was apprehensive at first, knowing the guys probably wouldn't speak english but with my limited japanese and there little knowledge of english we all got a long and I drank a fair bit of beer (which is probably why we got on so well), and we ate the japanese version of fondue. If you don't know what a Gokkon is, let me explain... its basically a party of singles, and this happens a lot, one girl and one guys organise it, the girl brings single females and the boy brings single males (massive blind date!) but because it's in a group everyone can hold everyone elses hand. it works out nicely, everyone drinks and can have a good time. So I have reserved a couple of the guys to give me snowboarding lesson in the winter, and my school nurse who organised it has reminded me that next winter the guys and us are all going snowboarding... hehehe... I better practice more japanese before then.

to anyone who is living in Japan, give the Gokkon a go!!

ugg but now after a late night out I have to work :(
