Goodbye Friends
So this week is very very sad week for me. Two of my goood friends are leaving :-( It was bad enough dealing with Maki leaving and moving to NJ, but we just received word that Minako is moving as well. She was offered a job in L.A. (YEAYY MINAKO!!!) and needs to move there ASAP! She's leaving TOMORROW!!! OMG!! It's so fast!!
So, after Maki's going away party on saturday, we celebrated Minako's going away party last night! (Boooo!!!) But it was actually a really great time. They rented a suite at the Strathallen Hotel and had a big party there! There was so much food!!! And lucky Minako had a tray of "Toro-only-Sushi" donated from Tanaka-san @ Shiki! Once it was placed on the table, it dissapeared in about 3 seconds flat! Fukuo-san, one of Minako and Maki's friends (and is the waitress at Shiki) so kindly put a piece of toro aside for Seymen because he was late. (She knows how much Seymen LOVESSSS toro!) At one point, someone found the extra piece that was hiding and we had to make an announcement to save it, and no, no one was trying to hoard the toro :-) hehehehehe. It was really funny.
Anyway, I'm very sad to see my two good friends go, and half of the Asian Sensations leaving Rochester...the only good news is that I'm going to L.A. on business not this week but next, so I will see Minako then (hopefully!) and the week after that I will be going to Japan so I will see Maki when I'm there :-) And of course we have the U.S. Wedding for Maki and Richard in December, so the Asian Sensations will be re-united :-)
Anyway, here's pictures from Minako's Going Away Party.
