The Japanese are so polite about welcoming new people. The 20 or so lab members chipped in money to throw a kangeikai (welcome party) for me and the new secretary. We had yakiniku (Japanese bbq meat) and boy was it good. The food was one of the main reasons for me to pursue studying in Japan.
The graduate students work so hard in the laboratory. But when it’s time to party they are funny people.
Shiota-kun (with the peace sign) he played American football. I like to call him “monkey boy”. In the back is Momose-san, he is a PhD student and my group leader.
Mizutani and Matsunaga-san. I guess Japanese-aloha wear is popular. Matsunaga-san can speak English like a pro.
My professor- Professor Toshiya Endo. He is the man! He can speak both English and Japanese fluently. The work he is doing is pretty amazing.Tanaka-san, she said se did her eyelashes in the morning so I took her picture.
Yagawa-san, Yokoyama-san, and Oguro-san. The three other members of the structural biology group. I’m the rookie. But I can beat all of them up. Japanese guys are super skinny- I must seem like a sumo to them.
The yakiniku sauce. Not only is the meat good, they have all sorts of dipping sauces.Cooked chicken and rice. The Japanese on the rice bag says it’s “not necessary to wash."
