End of Year Potluck Party @ Michinoku International Japanese Education Center

Had a potluck party on 13 Dec 2016 and that was end of term of my Japanese class in Hachinohe. They have the tradition of having potluck party when the term ended. Each of us have to bring along food to share with others. S came along upon the invitation from my Japanese Sensei, we met her randomly one day at the shopping mall haha! I intended to cook but S ended up cooking the Singapore style dishes (Laksa and 5 spices fried chicken) and drove us to the class.

Each of the class also had to prepare a performance and present in front of everyone. Our class was doing Japanese tongue twisters and I had been practising as much as I could e.g in the car while S was driving or while I took Hideji out for walk. S was quite irritated by my endless practise lol! It all ended well! Before the party, we had half hour class and S sat beside during the class. During the potluck, S was talking to my fellow classmates and he ended knowing more about them than me!

Got to eat ALOT other countries cuisine like from Thai (curry, thai salad), China (dumplings), America (they even made Turkey!). I took plenty of helpings that I was eating and standing around, while my America friends were sitting and chatting at the table. Did not return to the table at all lol! Surprisingly, many loved the laska (spicy to some) and towards the end, it was almost all gone. Maybe we can open Laska restaurant in Misawa lol!
