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.

“Nanpa For Learning Japanese” is the title and theme of the post.
Recently i realised i needed to step up my Japanese learning and it was highlighted by a few people that conversation with the opposite sex is a great means to do that. This i already knew and it’s something i practice as often as possible but i knew i could do more.
Over several painstaking hours i crafted a letter to a girl in my building, we’ve passed each other several times and she’s always cheerful enough to see me but to date our exchanges have been brief to say the least.
I ran the first cut of my letter past my buddy JT who is a master of the Japanese language and also a dab hand with the ladies i might add.
Without rewriting the letter totally, JT gave me some grammatical instruction and helped me massage the message into a readable format which you can see below. Thanks man, I went the Hiragana option and removed any Kanji i didn`t understand.
