I'm going to elaborate upon the previous post.
Yesterday, a welcome party was held for the new students of the film department I'm in. Some were doing their Masters, some for their PHD (it's a new course that started this semester). We first went to Professor Ando's house.
He was waiting with us with food and drinks (prepared by his wife).
The old and new students of the lab mingled. First they introduced themselves.
This is Wen Xin, she's from Taiwan but had been teaching film in Singapore. She's going to start doing her PHD.
That's my friend Mahmoud from Tunisia. I told him to join the lab since he was having some difficulties in his previous university. After more than a year of painstaking applications, procedures and all sorts of stuff with the bureaucracy, he's finally part of the film lab.
Here's Motomura-sensei. I think this is a pretty good pic of him.
Then we dined a little.
Ko-san (last appeared here) enjoyed the food.
Then I made my way to the Toho Studios.
And once again, the Toho Studio cafeteria.
Outside the cafeteria.
We had our welcome dinner in a room.
Some people were introspective moods, perhaps they noticed the passage of time.
(I personally think that the above picture of Teng Fei looks like a film poster)
One of the new girls was in Singapore for vacation, and gave me a Merlion cookie. A Japanese, handing me a cookie of my birthplace, what are the odds?
I then went out to take photos of the cherry blossoms again.
