Tatsuno International Organisation Welcome Party

Tatsuno International Organisatoin kindly arranged this evening for the new ALT's. There was food, drink (albiet non-alcoholic) and lots of new people, many of whom spoke English... how refreshing! On top of this we had the chance to sample some Japanese traditions, such as tea ceremony and Shuji (calligraphy). After the welcome party Liz, Ryan, Kim and I hit Kobe for an all-nighter - carnage!!



Some guy blowing down bamboo. Do I sound unappreciative?!



Shuji - the choice of champions... and me! Every Monday at the community centre!



Apparently it says 'Lo-re-su', which is, apparently, my name.



Liz being little miss culture!



Kim getting a helping hand with calligraphy.



Me and Ryan loving the Kobe bar scene.
