Professor Endo’s birthday
Even though my professor’s birthday wasn’t today the lab celebrated it because everyone is busy on other days. I bought him a polo necktie at the shopping mall by Nagoya station. That was the first time I have been in the expensive stores in Japan. It was pretty crazy to see that the same stuff we can get in America is more expensive in Japan for some reason.

The polo necktie for my professor. The people at the store wrap it for you for free. I guess that’s why the price is so much higher in Japan because they included service charges as well. But, if they include it in the price it’s not real service is it?
Anyway, by the time I got back to the party after institute a lot of people went home. But, I still got to mingle with most of the people there. It was a lot of fun. It’s so nice that the professor likes parties. Everyone works hard and everyone enjoys a lot too.
