Sayonara

I've started to say goodbye to all of the amazing people I've been blessed to know in Japan. Yesterday I went to my Japanese family's house for the last time to have dinner and play with the young kids, MoJo. This was the cake they got to celebrate my farewell:
"Keito" is how you say my name in Japanese, and since my friend's sister doesn't know English she didn't know how to spell my name correctly. She got bitched at a little by my friend, Kuniko, but I like this MUCH better than regular old "Kate". And the part in Japanese says "Gambattene!" which means "Do your best" and is often used in situations that may be difficult for the person. Joy and sadness ensues.
