My

 GENKI GIRLS GROUP

is ending.
They are going to University in April.


L to R:  Rui, Narumi, Chika, me and Arisa.


Usually I don`t do this, however this group was kinda special so I splashed out
and bought them a Farewell Cake on Paseo Street.


The cake seemed to be a bit of a hit  :)

Valentine`s Day - Nihon.

Valentine`s Day in Nihon is really different from Valentine`s Day in  my original culture.
In every which way ....

*  *  *  *  *  *  *  *

On Monday evening, 13th February, 2012
I cooked  a pre-valentine`s dinner for Chikako.


A bottle of Jacobs Creek from my culture to celebrate in this culture.


Cooking dinner on the heater ~ yum !



I got a few snacks along the way .....



 And Chikako got some dango to top it all off ........



____________________________________


Tuesday evening, 14th February.
Chikako prepared a little surprise for me !
Strawberries around a dango heart with an edible message.
I was so happy to eat my `valentine`s card.`

XX

And I also  received a special gift tonight from
Sayaka~san.
