2024 NEO New Year's Party

We had our NEO New Year’s Party for the first time since 2020. Because of the COVID pandemic, we didn’t have a party previous three years.

This year is the “Year of the Dragon”, so we decided that it would be appropriate to have Chinese food. The party was on February 10th, which was actually the day of Chinese New Year, but that was just a coincidence that we didn’t realize when we scheduled the party.

27 students and staff got together and enjoyed a delicious 9 course meal. The food was good and the company was even better. There was a mix of English and Japanese conversation and a lot of students were able to meet a few new people as well as enjoy spending time with familiar faces.

After the meal, about half of the members carried on to a second party at a bar downtown, where the drinks and chatting continued until the wee hours of the night.

Thanks for coming out everybody, we hope that you had as much fun as we did!
