While we’re about it could we forget the last ten years too? Seriously, the naughties were pretty naughty. Sometimes I forget to forget. Here’s what’s been going on over here in Tokyo.

Learn Japanese Pod Year End Party

A huge thank you to all of you who came out to the Pink Cow to experience the Japanese Lounge Event and the Learn Japanese Pod Year End Party. I had a great time and it was great to catch up with you all. We will be holding more of these meet ups every month from now on. I was also happy that we had more Japanese people participate as this is of course Learn Japanese Pod. お疲れさまでした。Stay tuned for dates for the next one. Thanks to  Jim, Yoko, Keiko, Arden, Akaki, @tamegoeswild, @sandrajapandra, @kimiecat, @tomoakiyama and @AdySan. And here are some photos from Ady.
