Japanese Parties...

This is a special post for Japanese Parties.

Because they sure are something special.

So far the parties I have been to are the AFS day party, AFS X-mas party, and the international club Halloween and x-mas parties.

Today was the international club Christmas party. We all went to the old cooking room to make food including pumpkin pie, pizza, soup and sandwiches (all the Christmas traditionals). That part was fun. So was eating it. After that is when the Japanese organization tends to come in. There was a "band" of sorts consisting of a guitarist...sort of...a pianist...sort of...and a vocalist and tambourines...
Their performance was the first time playing together..
well THAT was fun.
Other than that we did NOTHING. Except some guy ate too much and threw up.
Students sat around wondering what to do next.
There was a present exchange and that wasn't bad.

The problem with Japanese parties is that there is way too much organization. There is also more time spent cleaning and preparing than actually enjoying the party. and there are official start and end times just like the parties I went to when I was about 6 or so.

they also play games like bingo. WHO PLAYS BINGO FOR FUN?!

So, just a warning to future people Japan visitors. Don't come for the parties.

I think I heard the foreigner parties are much more fun though.
