September 25th, 2010 was the 63rd annual Airman’s Ball. It also marked the 50 years of partnership between the U.S. Air Force and Japan. We celebrated with a great Taiko Drum performance.
General North also made an appearance and gave a wonderful speech about our strong alliance with Japan. It made me feel very lucky to be in Japan at this time and grateful for all the friendships I have made in such a short amount of time.
Following his speech was the after party. I danced a little bit but I really thought I was going to fall in my heels! We went next door to The Faultline and listened to a Japanese band play some classic rock and blues. They were pretty good!
It was a pretty cold night at the ball. I bought a new dress for the ball and I noticed a lot of people wearing kimonos. Maybe next year I will wear mine. ^_^
