Sum up:
(pictures and details once I get back)

11/8-morning 11/9
1. Everyone said goodbye to Jeffrey (he's off to Paris Photo).
2. Visited a winter garden (onshitsu/green house).
3. Mexican restaurant in Daikanyama for Kira's Wakarekai (farewell party).
-Ridiculously thoughtful presents from people at work:
--A little bouquet
--A small decorative fan with cherry blossoms (because they know I like Nihonbuyo)
--A five-disc set of Japanese pop music from Jeffrey (with Pink Lady before and beyond)
--A keychain with a gyoza doraemon from Kano-san!!!!

(I know it's annoying that I write things in Japanese at all, but honestly I feel like I've been spoiled being around all these multilingual people. Even if I say a word in American English, British English, obscure art speak, Japanese, or onomatopoeia + gestures they'll know exactly what I mean. Like suddenly turning to my German Alida and talking to her in Japanese (although when she speaks to me in German I just look bewildered)).

4. French people's home party in Yoyogi Koen.
5. Air again! But this time it was incredible and memorable.

11/9
1. Shinjuku's Tokyu Hands, Kinokuniya, and all that goddamn South Pole Illumination. I have maybe 600 pictures on my camera right now.  ¶ 5:10 AM
