yamayamayama 2 Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 That time of year again. So many parties. And so few you want to go to. This year I'm going to the work one on Friday, I'm not keen but I am keen on Ms Takahashi and so that is the, ahem, target for the evening. Then I've got a friends one which I'm really looking forward to the week after next. And 1 more that I "should" go to but I'm currently cooking up some excuse for. What's your bonenkai status this year? Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 None. I am meeting a mate to catch up for a drink, but thats not really what I'd call a bonenkai. Link to post Share on other sites
sakebomb 0 Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 I plan on laying low and cooking up excuses...... Actually I work mostly for myself now so I don't have to do that anymore! Alright!!!! Link to post Share on other sites

woywoy 0 Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Had my company "Christmas Party" (the word "Bonenkai" seems to be out for the supposed "gaishikei" companies) last night in a club in Aoyama. Pretty tasteless party really with a magician, games and pole dancers. Can you believe that? And they didnt even get their gear off ... Luckily, though, this is the only Bonenkai/Xmas party I have to go to so it is all over for me. Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Bonenkais bite! Luckily the bonenkai here is for the PTA and so voluntary. Just a few of us are having our own private bonenkai with some other mates. Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Really? Damn, we have sweet parties at my school that I wouldnt miss for the world. Amazing food, best sake, scotch, beers, etc. Some really are lame but Ive lucked out Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 that's cool. Unfortunately there are just too many wankas at our school. I'd rather be getting pissed with my mates. Link to post Share on other sites
misorano 1 Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Zip for me too. May take the missus and kids out for dinner and claim it as a bonenkai. Link to post Share on other sites

minus 1 Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 None, though will be going out with group of Japanese friends, does that count? Link to post Share on other sites
fukdane 2 Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Probably. I have mine next Wednesday. Why do they often choose them mid-week? I don't think I've ever been to one on a more convenient Friday. Link to post Share on other sites
r45 4 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Going to 5, and only paying for one. Sounds decent to me. Link to post Share on other sites
TheOrange 0 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 If I went to the 5 I have been invited to, it would cost me about 20,000 yen (plus any nijikais and whatever). For things I don't want to do, I don't think so! One of them, the main work one will be fine that is usually fairly fun. Link to post Share on other sites
xxx 2 Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Went to one last night, cost 12000 yen! and came out of the "pot" so nothing to do apart from drink as much as possible. Got a real bad headache! Link to post Share on other sites
