Christmas Party

[hawkmoon]

Here are a few pix from my Xmas party last Friday.
It was a nice place and I had the best seat in the house.
They gave out some great prizes too (weekend at the Ritz Carlton for two, round trip tickets and stay for two to Hawaii, Guam, or Okinawa).

A few more. These are from the 2nd and 3rd party.
In Japan they will often do several after parties untill the wee hours. The higher your rank, the longer you are expected to stay - and the more you are expected to drink.

Did Michael Jackson just leave the room before the pics were taken? Cause eveyone is holding up a peace sign?!

The more I hear you talking about Japan, the more I feel like discovering the country! How long did it take you to learn Japanese, Hawk?

Hawk - I don't get it

I'm 100 straight and married, but what's up with you having trouble navigating the dating scene? I read your posts on the challenges of being single. Maybe you weren't ready for it, but you shouldn't be having any trouble.

Please tell everyone you are getting some love.

Some Japanese idiosyncrasies never die.
