11/8、9に桑野研OBOG合宿が沼津で開催されました！The Kuwano Lab Alumni Retreat was held in Numazu on November 8th and 9th!
久しぶりにお会いする先輩や、名前や逸話だけ知っているような初めてお会いするレジェンドの先輩、桑野研と交流の深い清田研の先輩、そして先輩方のご家族まで総勢４０名以上が一堂に会する盛大な会でした。It was a massive gathering with over 40 attendees under one roof! We were joined by alumni we hadn’t seen in ages, “legendary” seniors we’d only ever heard stories about, alumni from the closely related Kiyota Lab, and even their families.
まずは恒例の(?) 50m走です！野原を駆け回っていた子供の頃より、どれだけタイムが劣化したかが見所です！ We kicked things off with the traditional (?) 50-meter dash! The highlight was seeing just how much our times have slowed down compared to when we were kids running around outside!
50m走のあとは「ゼミ」です。といっても、自己紹介をして、ジェスチャーゲームをしてと楽しい時間でした。After the race came the “Seminar.” In name only, of course—it was actually a really fun time with self-introductions and a game of charades.After the race came the “Seminar.” In name only, of course—it was actually a really fun time with self-introductions and a game of charades.
続いて夕食会です！50m走の結果発表に出し物に、会場は大盛り上がりでした～！Next up was the dinner party! The venue was absolutely buzzing with the race results announcement and the entertainment performances.
夕食を済ませると、２次会・３次会と続きます。二郎先生から日本酒の差し入れをいただきました！After dinner, we kept the momentum going with the after-party (and the after-after-party!). We even received a generous gift of sake from Prof. Jiro!!
世代を超えて様々なゲームやトークで交流を深めました！We deepened our bonds across generations through all kinds of games and conversations.
翌朝はそれぞれ思い思いの場所を観光して、OBOG合宿は終了です。思った以上にたくさんの先輩と仲良くできました！The next morning, everyone went sightseeing at their leisure, bringing the retreat to a close. I was able to connect with way more alumni than I expected!
今から来年が楽しみです I’m already looking forward to the next year’s party!
