For the Love of Beer

The International Ohmeikan Festival opened in earnest last night with a party in the 'robby'. Its a two-months drinking extravaganza masquerading as a 'festival' just to give the facade of culture and sophistication to the idea of 100+ students getting drunk and playing drinking games...for two months. All in the name of bridging international divisions and making friends with our Japanese contemporaries.

The opening act was a rude Japanese sketch involving a girl in a pink nurse's uniform, a guy dressed in nothing but a frilly pair of yellow polka dot knickers and a red apron, and a large bottle of Asahi. The bottle was used effectively to convey his...erm arousal. Some things will always transcend the language barrier.
