When Ayako and I moved into our house last July, we went and introduced ourselves to the neighbours close to us. At the time though, we didn't join the local community group since it halfway through the year. In Japan, April is the start of year for many things including businesses, schools, as well as our local community group. So Ayako and I officially joined the group this month, paid our dues, and voted for this year's leader. Our community is the local 18 houses near us, and yet we had not met all the neighbours yet. So on Saturday night, there was an annual party for our group that we joined for the first time. We went to a local restaurant and rented a room we we enjoyed wonderful food. Our neighbour across from our house, Terasawa-san, even did some magic tricks during the night:
Here he is doing another magic trick with a coin:
It was interesting that I hadn't met many of the people who came out to the event last night, since many of them were the husbands who are working during the day. The local people I often meet are retired and are in their 70s or 80s and they decided to miss the party. Anyways, it was a good party and a good test of my Japanese.
