Farewell Party With Host Families


We met Mari’s parents at the train station. I quickly changed my clothes in the restroom and we then met all the other students in the lobby of the hotel. The directors made a speech in front of all the host families and students. The atmosphere was very nice. A buffet was ready with drinks and, of course, sushi. After the directors’ speech everyone joined the buffet and chatted to each other. The highlight of the evening was the karaoke with everybody. We sang both Japanese and German songs. At 7 p.m. the host families had to leave. We said goodbye and checked into our hotel rooms for one more night. I told Mari to join us for the rest of the evening. We wanted to go out in Tokyo. About eight of us went to Shinjuku where we met two other boys and entered a bar to have some drinks and food. After that we tried to get into some clubs, but as the boys didn’t have the right clothes, we couldn’t get in all together. We tried several times and decided at 5 a.m. to go back to the hotel.
