The closing BBQ was just great. It is to celebrate a good year all the ladies have doing our monthly lunch, husband to meet the friends that the wives are always bragging about, children to be friend. I took the opportunity for friends to visit my new home that I just moved in the pass 2 months. This time we had a suprise party for a Shodai (Tomoko's son) that just turn 13. They love it so much here that time pass so fast and the family was here 8 years already. The occasion was also a sad one since Helen (from UK) is leaving us for Luxembourg due to her husband relocation. Most of us are here, because of our husband too. With a group like this, there will always be somebody new (Brandy from US) and somebody leaving.
