New Year's reception

Tonight we were invited to the Japanese ambassador's house for the New Year's reception. It was exactly how I remembered the function last year. It was raining heavily and everyone there was talking about this constant rain.

Even though the ambassador's house is huge there were only 30 or so of us so felt a bit empty.(I was told there are about 120 Japanese residents here in Brunei / including kids)

The function stated off with ambassador's greetings and after some more formal greetings we were asked to help ourselves to special New Year Japanese food !!



Sushi and sashimi! and more yummy food...

It was a shame that I couldn't get my third plate as I was feeling little bit fluey.
