As a nice little treat at the end of a rather boring school holiday, all the ALTs in Iwate were treated to a three days off school for a language seminar in Morioka. Actually, the non-recontracting JETs were told if they wanted to go they had to take holiday, which was "just not on", but they certainly weren't left out of the evenings activities. This is us in Picca Pecca drinking Nikorai and Sakuras (not a good idea!), before heading off to kakaoke and three hours sleep before the next day's study.
