Doctor farewell at a Hawaiian restaurant
Satomi had organised a big farewell dinner for a doctor leaving her hospital. I had woken really late and Satomi was ringing every five minutes and asking where I was. When I eventually did end up leaving, she was waiting at the front with the bike on which I got a lift 
Everytime there’s a group gathering there are always people who are like “Who’s foreigner is this, why is he here and where did he come from?” Apparently us foreigners are pretty interesting people. I don’t imagine Japanese people meet foreigners very often so when they like to talk to you and ask questions and occasionally give you things. I’ve received high-class umeboshi (thanks Kuniko!) and finger-trap-toys from Okinawa (thanks Rika!).
Anywoo, it was nice food and there was a good atmosphere. Satomi took a photo of Me, Rika and the departing doctor (photo).
We all walked down to the local peace park to set off fireworks. Yep, peace park, fireworks. It had been a present for the doctor so we had a giant package of fireworks to use up. So many photos on the photo gallery of this night so check them out! The doctor and I lighting fireworks (photo) and a group photo (photo).
