Hanami

We had our annual hanami (flower viewing) drinks yesterday in Kobe. The weather was good, and there was a really good turnout. Most of the Kiwi students who have come over with Monbusho were there, including the new girl Susan from Napier, who it turns out was on the same flight as me on the way over. Everyone's busy with study and work, so it's been the first time I've seen most of them since last year.
