So we had a very big week er last week. Meetings of governing bodies and inauguration of the university involving hosts of  celebrities in a scientific sort of definition i.e. no rock stars or talent show contestants but lots of Nobel prizewinners.

On Sunday we had a staff BBQ to celebrate which was a blast.

Ami Chinen who is in IT and also semi professional classical dancer

We got together and the staff put on dance and song and general fun.

Higashionna san from Student Affairs

Fun

We play

A touch '68 San Francisco

Anyway great event with simple fun, no alcohol, and pleasure of people being with people. Not what I am used to but which Japan is teaching me to enjoy more and more.

Jatta!

By the way my camera or at least one lens seems to be busted. It does not focus properly especially on the peripheries of the shot. What I dread is that I have inadvertently set an er setting which is doing this and I will never be able to track it down. I apologize for sub standard photography.
