On July 13th we had a party at a restaurant that I like in a town near where we were living in Funabashi.  The party was supposed to be for our friends in the Tokyo/Mobara area because we can't invite everyone to the wedding.  44 people showed up with some coming in from as far away as Nagoya and Osaka (1 hour by plane) and even Okinawa (2 hours by plane) to enjoy the party with us.  

We played bingo and games (the Japanese way of having a party) and after that was all finished with Kevin and Michael played some tunes and then the Nonbays got up and put on a show (the Nonbays is a band that a bunch of our friends from Mobara are in).  

It was really nice to get everyone together for one last party.  We don't know when we will have a chance to return to the Tokyo area again but we hope to see everyone again soon.
