Ueda Higashi Senior High School Graduation

Graduation in Japan is a really important event in Japan. This is graduation from school. Families will spend up to around ¥100,000 (₤500) for the best kimonos for their daughters and nice suits for their sons. I knew that this was going to be a special occasion so I had my suit dry cleaned. What I didn’t count on was the burning sunburn from skiing the day before. Although it wasn’t that bad, I had a classic “goggle tan” and looked a little stupid.

My class of 18 year olds were really genki and hyper.









































There were a few more other students but they didn't show up to the end of year meeting. Virtually all of them went to Uni.

Hey Rich, Im loving the new look blog. Very retro. Thanks for ringing me before my birthday, it was good to here your voice-yes its still janner (kind of). The peace signs in the pic's are quite funny, I like the random arm poking in from the left on the second photograph! The kimono's look lovely, the one with the purple flowers and the black skirt-y bit is very pretty. Also top marks on the Cassius video, its amazing, I will always remember watching that on my first batch of mushrooms. Awesome
