Another one leaves the nest

The original Kita Family started out with Me, the wife, Becs, Amanda, Jess, Dolly, Russ, Kirsten, and Jean. Over the past year the family has shrunk. First Bec left, then Amanda, then Jess. Today was the day another one has left the nest.

Dolly is heading back to Canada to start her new life there. Her parents have moved out of their old house so things will be fresh and new for her. It was sad to see her go, but life must move on and so should people.

It's the way of gaijin in Japan. Many people compare it with college. You spend a few years having a great time with people, but in the end everyone moves on.

It wasn't all tears and sadness. We were able to see a bunch of different people at Balabushka's and at Soire. Apparently DJ Freebass, a friend of ours, was spinning at Soire. Well the pictures never lie, and they tell a story of fun and frivolity. Dance, baby dance!
