Christmas Carolers

It was an early Christmas party and a week long break for us. This afternoon we're just practicing for the caroling contest scheduled for tonight during the dinner party. Since I'm just a member of the cheering squad, I was content to just point and shoot my camera.



While they were practicing, I was able to attend a very short Nihongo class. But what can you really expect from a two-hour class? Anyway, it gave me a chance to speak some Nihongo. Actually, I asked the instructor—Anata wa Nihonjin desû ka? Are you Japanese? Of course, he is. Mochiron Nihonjin desû.



Around 6pm, we all went to the dinner party. This was followed by some charity bingo hosted by one of my classmates in law school—from nine years ago! Although my heart was set on winning something in the bingo, it didn't happen. I was just one of many charitable people that night, but in between games, I designed a better bingo announcement board. I was bored. Anyway, this should come in handy in the future when we host the bingo games ourselves.

Of course, the climax of the evening was winning 2nd prize in the caroling competition.
