Saturday was a beach party in town and I was up and out early in the morning to help prep and get people from the station to the beach. Well there ended up being a ton of people and a ton of food and the weather was perfect!! Everyone was really nice and we all just relaxed, grilled, ate... I tried surfing for the first time, only for a very few minutes, and I decided that it could be fun. Hmm... too bad I'm moving... There were plenty of nice chats, good laughs and it was all rounded out by a campfire and some fireworks. The stars were beautiful, the waves were pounding, and a big happy group of gaijin [foreigners] thoroughly enjoyed each other's company!
