I was invited to 2 bounenkai this year... and I ditched the 2nd one (with the board of education) so that I could hit the slopes a day earlier. At my school's bounenkai we played some games and there were skits. And we all won prizes. Probably only 60-70% of the teachers who came drank alcohol. (a lot of people drove themselves to the party) The price tag... 6000yen :shock: 大掃除　would be easier for me to do, if recycling weren't such a troublesome activity here. Where I live you're supposed to go so far as to empty out plastic packets of wasabi and wash the plastic before placing it into the "recyclable plastic" trash bag.

We should try and get it going in the US. It's so nice to clear up all the clutter and get rid of the stuff that you don't need anymore. I've been doing it lately because I'm about to move and it's really freeing =) Ousouji is a great idea! We should try and get it going in the US.
