Sandy turns 21!

This week is going by pretty quick, classes are pretty good. I'm trying to get used to biking up over a mountain everyday on my way to school, but it's still pretty tough. We celebrated Sandy's birthday early to surprise her, and also since this weekend most of us are going to be travelling since next week is Golden Week, a national holiday that lasts all week.



She's clearly speechless with surprise.



Bystanders wait hungrily for the cake to be cut.



Look, Erin's taking pictures of the cake, what a surprise!



What could be inside?



They managed to find her a tea set with bunnies on it!



My gift to her - a few bottles of an alcoholic sparkling grapefruit drink. Apparently it's all the rage with the Japanese girls here.

Happy Birthday Sandy!
