The beginning of a long farewell





Sadly, we are about to move away from Oguni after a year of wonderful memories. We made many friends over that time, and in the weeks to come we will have to slowly say farewell to all of these great people. There is always a chance that we will meet some of them in the future, especially those who live in and around Oguni. However, for those friends who are only living in the area for a short time, such as for temporary work, this may be our last goodbye.

Last Sunday night we hosted a small party for some friends, hopefully not the last before we leave. Hisako made a lot of food, including a very spicy Thai curry that she thought no one would be able to eat. It was gone before the night was over. The party ended just before 2:00, with us whispering our goodbyes in the parking lot.

We cannot thank people enough for their kindness to us while we've been here. We'll never forget their smiling faces and the memories we've shared.
