The “Goukon”
Today was a Japan’s labor day, and I enjoyed a nice break from school. At night I went to a Japanese style blind date, called “goukon” or “konpa”, with my friend Oguro in the lab. I got to go because Shiota double booked dates on the same night. He chose to hang out with another girl, so I got to benefit from his mistake. Anyway, it was a lot of fun. It was interesting to experience the Japanese culture even though I didn’t drink. I don’t know how to explain it, but it was a lot of fun. We played games and just ate and drank. I heard a lot about it before and it’s pretty normal so it was good to go to at least one. Everyone said they had a good time too. Konpa- The five boys from Nagoya Univ. Two of the girls were from Nagoya and the other three from Sugiyama University.
