The bonenkai (忘年会 – forget the year gathering) season is officially over at the end of the year and now a new round of shinenkai (新年会 – new year gathering) will begin.

One of my last soiree’s for 2008 was held by the master from my local Okonomiyaki restaurant and a great night it was.

Unfortunately the photos only reflect dinner and drinks.

I get into Otafuku at least once per week, it’s a great place for dinner and a few beers. It also turns into a Japanese Lesson after a few beers, the best lesson to have too, it’s real world stuff.

Old mate next to me works at the restaurant and speaks great English so there is a bit of back up when things get too hard.

4 Wise men … no so wise several hours later after copious amounts of whiskey at Karaoke followed by a few hours at the local Girls Bar.

Unfortunately there’s no photos from the Karaoke or the Girls Bar, the best i can do is put up a J-Babe this Friday, sorry.
