Akemashite Omedetou Gozaimasu! Happy
New Year from all of us on the JETAASI Committee.
2010 is shaping up to be another busy and funfilled year, keep in touch
with us here on our webpage as well as our facebook group for upcoming
events!
Our annual Bounenkai
was held at Kinji Restaurant in Christchurch, a delicious meal that kept
coming and coming - people are already talking about next years
bounenkai already! We had a slideshow of pictures from some of 2009's
events, a report on the Oceanic Conference by Maria and Matt T and guest
speaker, Rex Johnstone. We also had a few guests from our
English/Japanese Conversation club as well which was excellent!
Check out our pictures from the event.
On September 20th,
we held our annual Hanami and Haiku event.
This year it was held amongst the sakura blossoms at the Peace Bell in
the Botanical Gardens in Christchurch. It was a well supported event by
JETAASI members, friends and family.
