This past weekend we held a surprise farewell party for my friend Yukiko who is leaving for Australia to study there for a year.

surprise!

Yukiko and I

A going away present...a halloween costume (one can never be too prepared :)

two cRaZy girls...oh, wait, and who is that in the back...yep, it's Katie!

After the party, as we said goodbye I realized that it might be the last time I see her again. It made me appreciate the time we had together and want even more not to waste the rest of my time here in Japan, or anywhere for that matter. Tanoshikata!
