A typical Nova leaving party...

This one was for Justin. Most parties are held in large izekayahs such as this one. There are 5 nova schools inSapporo so there's usually a pretty good crowd. Each party is sat in their own private booth ranging in size from a table for 4 up to this. For a set price you get an all you can drink deal called "nomi-hodai" then just order food from the menu. The guy in the navy t-shirt at the front is the only other Scottish nova tacher in Sapporo.
