A farewell party We had a coworker’s farewell party last weekend. One of my coworkers is quitting her job because she is moving to China with her parents. Both her parents are Chinese but she was born and raised in Japan. Her father decided to expand his business and move his base to Shanghai. He wants her daughter to help his business. The place we had the party was an all-you-can-eat-and-drink izakaya style restaurant. ¥3000 per person. It was not like general type of buffet style ones, we were able to order whatever we wanted on the menu and they brought it to our tables straight from the kitchen which was really combinient and the food was really good. We only paid 500 yen each, the company paid the rest. The coworker was such a hard worker, creative, bold and funny so she was loved so much. I’m happy to get to know her and work with her. Some coworkers did some funny shows, everybody gave her presents. The manager’s speech was warm, witty and encouraging and her speech was warm and lovely. I’m going to miss her so much.
