Last dinner

I woke up with a banging headache and a cold, feel absolutely wretched. Can't wait for Bali. We decided that our (my co-workers and I) last meal together would be yaki-niku, in Hoshigaoka on the second floor in the same building work is in. Another all you can eat. I wasn't the only one feeling zoned - all of us were, well those who went to the party and did karaoke last night. Boooo. Good thing dinner was delicious and we left feeling bloated, as we usually do after tabehoudai yaki-niku.

My co-workers and I had done most of our crying the night before so when it came to say goodbye after dinner it went really smoothly. That might have been because we were all too knackered to cry. We got on the subway, and I said my last goodbyes and gave my last hugs to them when we got to their stops. There were sweaty eyes, but I was really happy how smoothly it all went. I will miss them SO, so much :( They are the reason why I extended my contract twice. I miss them already T_T

There was one other person that I was thrilled was able to come to dinner - Blair. Blair was the first person I met in Japan (other than the Japanese head office person that picked me up at the airport). I met Blair at the airport on the first day that I arrived in Japan. He had been waiting for me for forty minutes while I was going through immigration. It was kind of fitting then, how he was also one of the last persons I saw in Japan. After all my co-workers got off at their stops, we got off the subway together and I was able to walk him to his next train.
