Last Calls, 5th/6th Farewell Parties, Last Exam and Thank You Note

I was surprised (again!) that Ken called when I was about to start packing last night. I was glad to hear his voice at the last moment before I leave, I was glad knowing that a friend would give me a long distance call just to say goodbye. I was glad I am remembered.
Today also, I got calls from Kaoru and Hideki. I was touched yet really glad.

Last night, me and all members of my class went to Chinese restaurant for dinner. We have spent one year together at the same class, having the same funs, complaining the same teacher, taking exams, and played jokes on each other. Guys, I am really touched. Today, once again, we had the same last exam, and hugged each other. That was the last goodbye and the last time we met.

Again, I didn't expect that it was the idea of Sanyon to celebrate my leaving at Izakaya again. With him, Ii, Kim, Paul, Wo, Han, Obi, Kim, we drank ( this time, I avoided beer at all ) and ate. You know, I did cry when you guys left this eveing. How could I ever forget all of you ?

Okay, this is the last post in Japan. I will leave tomorrow. I would like very much to say thank you to all of the people I have made friends with :
