The generosity, meticulousness, and party-loving irreverance of Japan were all on display at the wonderful annual Holiday party at the Washington, DC Embassy of Japan, December 18, 2003. A savory and plentiful buffet of Japanese food and desserts was provided by the Embassy, as well as gifts and prizes for competitions, bingo and birthdays. A fun time for all. Just never bet on the young guys to win anything martial or physical...!
