Goodbyes. Tonight there was a going away party for some friends. They were studying at one of the universities in Shimonoseki. They've been studying Japanese here for the past year. It's amazing how time flies. Katie (in the picture) is from Australia and Ebu is from Turkey. Every encounter I had with them was fun. Seeing them go is also a reminder that I will be leaving soon. Before I know it July will be here and I'll be the one saying goodbyes to friends and students.
