It's that time of year again. We have to say goodbye to the ALTs that are finishing their contracts and returning home. This year, among the South Island ALTs (Amami, Kikai, Tokunoshima, Okinoerabu), four of us are leaving: Megan, Ching, and Jacob from Amami, and Dyon from Tokunoshima. To send them off in the grandest way possible we had a 3-day-long goodbye party at a rented beach house.
Loads of people, ALTs and friends alike, came to party. We spent the weekend snorkeling at Amami's picture-perfect beaches, and had a big barbecue on Sunday night. Seido and I performed a cello and piano duet version of "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence" after we couldn't eat any more. People gave speeches, and many tears were shed as we looked back on the great year(s) we had together.
Best of luck to you guys returning home. We'll miss you!
