Still Sober!

The party was literally a series of self-introductions in Japanese by the international students and several rounds of drinking games. Everybody has to down some beer, a large bottle for the guys and only a glass for the girls, to chants of 'sorei, sorei, sorei' which is the Japanese equivalent of 'D.I.O. D.I.O. D.I.O' (down in one, etc). Necking down a bottle of beer is harder than it sounds, since the pressure naturally purses your lips together so you really have to suck by the end of the bottle. The Japanese boys are terrible drinkers, they are complete lightweights and get hammered on a couple of bottles of beer. Their faces turn bright red, they stumble about often collapsing on the floor, and then some of the other boys would have to carry them back to their room. Even I am not that much of a lightweight and I am a girl! Here's proof that it started pretty at the beginning of the night before Sven and I have had that much to drink.
