After almost two years in Kyoto my time there as a student was finally coming to an end. As expected there was quite a lot that had to be done the last week; In addition to cleaning up all my stuff I had to go a couple of trips to Osaka to get the visa for Korea, end the Japanese health insurance and fix the rest of the payment for my contract with Softbank.
But there was also time to have some fun in between all the stress. Thanks to Kamui I had a really nice Thursday evening with a combined sayonara party for me/birthday party for Toji. On Friday it was time for another Melting Pot Party at Café Frosch, where I've been working part-time since April/May. Apple from Thailand was in charge for the food this time, and her Thai-food was really delicious. In addition to the food great friends and colleges made it an unforgettable evening. Here are some pictures from the party, and a video of the Japanese game Suikawari (スイカ割り: "Watermelon splitting game").
