Kariya Delegation 2013

Another year another delegation! This year the delegation from Kariya had a short visit, so with just five days together, we packed a lot of activities into our busy schedule.

Bye bye Tokyo

Bye bye Tokyo

いよいよ旅行最後の日!朝早く起きて、荷物を準備してホテルをチェックアウトしました。11時に順子たちと新宿駅で再会し、その後、みんなで一緒にランチを食べながら話が盛り上がりました。全て日本語での会話だったから、むずかしかったわ! ランチの後は、ホテルに戻り、順子たちにクリスタを紹介して、記念写真も撮りました。預かってもらった荷物をとりだして、バス乗り場までみんなで行きました。バスが来るまで順子たちも待っていてくれました。とても感謝しています。わずかな時間でしたが、とても楽しめることができました。いろいろとありがとうございました。 バスで2時間かけて、成田へ行きました。チェックインをした後、クリスタをANAラウンジへ連れて行ってあげました。とても広くて綺麗でした!たくさんの料理が並んでいて、SAKEバーもありました!そこで私たちはたくさん食べて、すぐに搭乗しました。 今回の3週間旅行は、とても楽しかったです。春節に家族と過ごせ、友達も会えたし、大好きなMaydayのコンサートに行くなど、充実していました。次はいつ行けるかわかりませんが、楽しみにしています!!
