Bonus Pub Night – Tonight We Say Farewell | Sydney University Kendo Club

Booked for 30, turned out to double it. Keishi we are going to miss you so much!

On 8 Dec, we held another pub night at Broadway Crown. It was such a memorable event as our friend, Keishi Todo, were about to return to Japan after one year’s living in Australia. He has been such a nice guy that we feel him like an old friend already. His smile is also unforgettably charming (the owner of “the best smile in 2017 cohort” in the cocktail party in May can’t be wrong).

十二月8日，我社又在Broadway Crown举行了一次酒吧聚餐的活动。这次活动是为了送别年初加入我社的藤堂惠士，因此也十分难忘。他在澳洲为期一年的学习交流即将结束，将要登上返回日本的飞机。虽然只有一年不到的时间，但他独特的人格魅力和那难忘的标志性笑容使他快速成为了我社成员的老朋友（毕竟是五月聚会里2017年最迷人微笑奖得主）。

not hard to find out how much people love keshi: at least 10 glasses of beer!

Not difficult to find out how popular Keishi is: at least 10 glasses of beer! We will also miss your smile so don’t worry! ps. sorry Paolo…

Being thankful for having him training and playing together, we wish him a good journey home, and will welcome him back anytime. At the beginning, we knew each other via kendo; throughout the time, we became friends; and from now on, we will remember each other despite the distance. This is probably one of the most important social meaning of a sport like kendo.

在这一年来的时间里跟他一起训练玩耍，我们也过得很开心。衷心希望他旅途愉快，并且我们随时欢迎他回来，一起打剑一起耍。我们因为剑道而相识相熟，相互进步，并且渐渐成为了朋友，这可能是像剑道这样的运动在运动意义之外的魅力之一吧。

So interesting watching people coming all the way from ...nowhere...

So enjoyable watching people coming all the way from …nowhere…(yes the first picture is the bottom right one).

We can’t help but feel shockingly – like we always do – how fast time goes. Year on year we welcome new faces, and send off some of the old. Good news is how easily we keep in touch online with the distant those who we care, and even travelling becomes easier. So don’t be too sad but feel free to keep friendships, people!

我们禁不住一次又一次地惊叹时间的飞逝，年复一年，我们迎来一些新面孔，送走一些旧面孔。好在活在当下的我们可以在网上随时随地与遥远的朋友们互动，并且旅行也越来越方便了，与其太过担心友尽，不如去保持线上线下的互动吧！

There is an actual reunion. Look who’s back! Remind you of last pub night? You get the point! Click the picture to find out Jordan’s two friends as cosplayers!

This night we also had Jamie, a friend from MUKEN, Melbourne University Kendo Club, who traveled to Sydney to experience training in different dojo. Welcome to Sydney! Look forward to training together again!

The year has come to an end, and the next year will start right after. It is time to set goals and get prepared, just in case they all come true. Life will always be the strategies of balancing out of the issues like kendo, study, work and being procrastinating, I mean, relaxing yourself in a suitable way. It would be the best if at the end of next year, people all find themselves promoted a lot.

又到了新旧交替的时节，到了设定新年目标的时候了（万一实现了呢）。人就得在各种忙活中找到立锥之地，虽然一般也就是打剑、工作、学习、摸鱼适当放松这些事了。不管怎样，希望到下个年末，大家都发现自己有所长进了吧。

Even if you find yourself more competent to drink at the end of the year. Two at once?! USYD Kendo Club literally got a talent!!
