On farewells.

I'm in Kobe now... Have probably left hoshien for the last time.

It's been a FANTASTIC one year in Waseda, and I'll probably never forget this experience. [ignore me, i'm waxing lyrical] I don't think it's really hit me that i've probably seen some people for the last time. I didn't really get to say goodbye to the Sanas either.... they left EARLY monday morning. I'd have stayed longer in the dorm, except that they kicked us all out. [I had a classmate called CAsey last semester.... he had no where to go, and so made plans to spend the night in a manga kissaten.]

My dorm mates weren't the only ones i bid farewell to... there were the church people as well..And even though a good amount of the stress that i felt in Japan came from church, I know that i'm going to miss the people, the band and i'll be looking back fondly on the worship sessions that the band members dreaded because they'd tell us the songs just 5 min before the session starts.

Here are some pictures from my last day in church. people serving have to wear formal wear... so ignore my dressing. Me and the pastors at my farewell dinner. A cell-grp leader yuan zhu and myself. My cell grp leader [lili] megumi-chan and i. yehi chan and i. me and a member of the AVA team. Me with one of my students. another cell grp leader. me and the pator incharge of the worship session. cell grp members.

I apologize for the lousy pictures... they came out so dark. haha.
