From Pumpkin Carving to UCLA CN...

Hello faithful readers of the Nikkei blog!

It's been a while since the last entry hasn't it? That is because Nikkei has been crazy busy putting on events for our lovely members to enjoy, so hopefully from now on we can get back to regular posting.

Since our last entry we've had lots of exciting events such as:

Pumpkin Carving














Everyone got a little messy competing to create the pumpkin Elise and Penny would find most appealing. In the end, the winning pumpkin was Nikkei to the core.

Meltdown














Our annual Intercollegiate Nikkei Council clubbing event

Keiro Card Making


















During this general meeting we made cards to send to Keiro nursing home residents.

Weekender in San Francisco














Everyone had a good time shopping, eating, and enjoying the sights of SF.

Keiro Card Delivery















Delivering the cards we made to Keiro!

Holiday Party














Our Nikkei family coming together to celebrate the end of another year with lots of to-die-for food!

Ozoni















Members got to try a little traditional New Year's soup with mochi at our first event of the spring semester.

Ski Trip














Our annual Big Bear ski trip was fun but bittersweet since it was Justin's (the coordinator) last trip to plan for everyone. It was pretty warm up there too, but snow is snow!

Dinner & Karaoke in Little Tokyo














This event was the first event planned by this year's Social Events Committee. Everyone had some good eats and sang (or rapped) their hearts out.

Calligraphy General Meeting














Our second Social Events Committee event! Chantelle taught us the basics of shodo or calligraphy.

Day of Fun with Nikkei at King's and Mulligan's in Torrance





















First it was dinner at King's Hawaiian and then off to mini golf and arcades at Mulligan's.

UCLA Culture Night & Dinner in Westwood














This year UCLA focused on the changing face of Little Tokyo in Always Welcome, Never for Sale.

Before that we went to dinner in Westwood. Yum... In-N-Out...


Watch out for the next entry on George Takei!
