Last Friday, January 23, JETAA NY hosted yet another terrific shinnenkai at Naniwa, the only place in town we know of that has a big tatami room.  34 people gathered for tabehodaishabu-shabu and nabe along with nomihodai beer, sake and shochu.  Old JETs, new JETs and everywhere in-between JETs were all represented.  O-tsukare sama to JETAA NY Social Coordinator Monica Yuki for organizing the whole shebang.  Also, special thanks to professional translator Kia Cheleen (CIR, Aichi-ken 1996-98, ALT 1998-1999) for providing yummy baked goods for everyone to take home with them.

*Special post-party treat:  Seeing Cindy Hoffman looking fabulous in her gown at the nearby Waldorf-Astoria Hotel for a high-falutin’ Australia Day event.
