Post-conference Dance Party in Nagoya!

Hello Gifu!

As most of you may know, the Gifu JET Recontracting Conference is set for this Friday, May 29th. These events are always a good time to enjoy each other's company and provide the perfect opportunity for going out together afterwards. While in the past we have often celebrated such occasions with enkais and dinner parties, this time we will be putting a twist on the annual Gifu get together.

So, strap on your dancing shoes, because we are about to head out on a night on the town, and by town we mean Nagoya! Our destination? iD cafe club in downtown Sakae! This club houses 5 floors of dance party, each offering a different music and a unique atmosphere.

Ladies looking to save some money should please check out this link to print out a coupon for FREE ENTRY before 8:00 PM! (http://www.idx-net.com/coupon/coupon_id.html)

Since not everyone may be up for an all nighter, (and some people may want to take advantage of the aforementioned discount), we will be departing from JR Gifu Station at 18:58, and arriving at Sakae around 19:30 ; )

So here's the breakdown:

Post-recontracting Conference - Get Your Groove on For the New JET Year

Date: Friday, May 29
Meeting Time: JR Gifu Station in front of Vie de France @ 18:40

- Lunch is not set at any specific place in Takayama, so you are free to eat where ever you want.

As mentioned above, the 16th is the Hida no Aji Festival (Flavor of Hida Festival) in Takayama City, so lots of delicious food will be sold around town!

Since we'll all be going on the bus this is a great opportunity to relax and enjoy the sights without having to worry about driving, navigating, or watching out for public transportation times. Feel free to have a few while we're in town and relax on the ride back, chat with friends and enjoy the scenery! See you on the 16th!
