Last Sunday I went to an international festival hosted back at the kaikan in Sendai, via an invitation from an old friend of mine who is still going to Tohoku Uni. This was the same festival that happened a little less than two years ago. Same basic idea, really, what with the different foods from Thailand and Taiwan and India and such. Seeing people I thought had left the kaikan, if not the country, lent the party an air of surrealism. Nan-nan was still there (Lane will know exactly who I’m talking about) as well as Bijeta and Lois and several people whose names I had forgotten, along with quite a few @home members. Wound up chatting with a Belgian and a German about different kinds of beer– hey, what else are you gonna talk about, right?
I didn’t stay for the dance party this time… I was getting a bit tired and didn’t feel like waiting another two hours, so I went home.
I take it that because you didn’t mention it, you didn’t meet the new UT student there?
You know, I HAVE met one person from UT here, and he reminded me a lot of you. No, really. But I don’t think it was at this festival.
