By the end of the week it was graduation time from Tokyo Tech. It was a daylong seminar ending with a nice ceremony.

Dating in Japan and Tokyo Tech labs

Friday 19/6:
I would like to write a little bit about dating in Japan. Not a manual or something like that, just a little bit about what Kojiro and me have been doing on our free time together lately, the little time we have together at least.
