Bonenkai
Today university staffs and teachers gathered and a big year-end party called “bonenkai” was held.
忘年会
I eat delicious meats, sushi, fruits, and drank alcohol a lot.
今日は大学の職員や教員が集まり、盛大な忘年会が行われました。
Songs and showy dance by Brazilians were presented as a sideshow act.
美味しいお酒にお肉、お寿司にデザートをたらふく食べました。
After that, a lottery event that contains gorgeous prizes was performed.
余興としては、ブラジルの方々による歌と派手なダンスが披露されました。
I couldn’t get anything, but they were really fun.
その後は豪華賞品が当たる抽選会が行われました。
The literal meaning of “bonenkai” is “a party to forget the year”, and it is often held in Japan to forget the hardship of the year.
私は何ももらえませんでしたが、とても楽しかったです。
However, since I still have a lot of work remain, I cannot forget this year yet.
「忘年会」は、年末にその年の苦労を忘れるために行われる行事です。
