 
We finally had our first costume party in Kumamoto. Costume
parties are not a regular occurrence in Japan. Most of the
Japanese guests had never been to a costume party before and enjoyed
being in a costume and watching the many foreigners in alien attire
getting inebriated.
The evening started slow but picked up about 10:30pm. Just
in time for the neighbors below to voice their opinion about noise
pollution. Luckily the conga line had just finished in the
kitchen.
The costumes consisted of, scary movie ghoul, kimono, a
television set, Peruvian man, Japanese business man, school girl,
pregnant lady, Carmen Miranda, Zeus, bathtub dude, karate sensei,
Chinese diplomat and sexy hot lady to name a few.
Prizes were given out for the following:
1. Best Costume - Kaki san: Sexy hot
lady
2. Best Pot luck snack - Masa san:
Toasted snacks
3. Best Dancing - kimono girl: Jazzy
dancing
4. Best Haiku - Nick: Bottoms up!
5. The "genkiest" person - Mika
- Biggest smile all night
Good times were had by all. (Except the neighbors)
