Wooohoooo the stress is over! And gasp...I even managed to enjoy myself! After almost calling it off due to the weather forecast....and our over-reaction to it, about 40 new and old JETs turned up. The weather cooperated and the food was marginally better than last year! Jawnee and Giselle, the famed super sempais of Ehime also graced the party with their presence and great fireside tunes - thanks Jawnee!

Myself, Fred and Vivian unfortunately had to return home early but from all accounts the party was a success. And despite warning of extremely poisonous (really!) jellyfish the traditional Niihama Skinny Dip took place in the wee hours of the morning.....Phil, you weren't involved in that, were you??? (Sorry folks, I wasn't there so no pics!)

A big otsukaresamadeshita to Clare, Phil and Karen who had to clean up the wreckage in the morning - - and to everyone else who helped out! Fred and I were really gutted that we couldn't be there..... Well done guys!

I never thought that 'self-photos' worked!
