Tuesday! We had our final presentations, which went fine (probably my favorite was about the Tiger Conquering Brigade, which was a bunch of Japanese guys who went around Korea just randomly shooting tigers and trying to look manly during the colonial period). That evening Yailett (who is another student from Harvard) came down to Yokohama to meet with me and hang out. It was so nice to see her, and we walked along the pier at night, which I highly recommend. Yokohama is actually really beautiful at night, especially in the Minato Mirai/Yamashita Kouen area.
Wednesday we had out exit interviews, which also went fine, because apparently I am a decent student with a very good memory for vocabulary. We had a goodbye party afterward, where we received our completion certificates, and I got to meet a new incoming RSEA student. Yesssssss. So that was awesome.
Also, I have gotten Yuting hooked on Welcome to Night Vale. *maniacal laughter*
A group of us from IUC wound up going on a hugely rambling adventure across Yokohama in the middle of the night that involved hamburg nabe* (significantly more delicious than I was expecting), Hello Kitty fireworks, ice cream (well, beer for everyone else and ice cream for me), and harmonicas. Unfortunately, it meant that I got back to my apartment around 2 a.m., and then my brain decided it would be a good idea to wake me up at 6:30 a.m. So today is going to be excitiiiiiiiing.
Speaking of, I'm going to be leaving Yokohama and on a plane back to the States in just a few hours. (Well, actually, I'll be leaving Yokohama in a few hours and will be on a plane back to the states in about 7 hours.) To all of you back in the States, I'll see you soon!
*Nabe is kind of like hot pot. Hamburg is like the paddy part of the hamburger.
