Sasebo Welcome Party! On a Pirate Ship!

Hello 2008 ALT’s and Block Reps,

A big welcome to Nagasaki Ken for all you first year’s! I hope you guys are getting settled in and adjusting well to your new life here. Some of you I have met, but for the others I’m looking forward to doing so. I am organizing a big welcome party here in Sasebo on Saturday, September 6th for everyone in the Prefecture to attend. It’s going to be a huge day so mark your calendar and make sure to attend.

I am renting out a huge Pirate Ship for a private Sunset Cruise through Kujuku shima (99 Islands). The Party will start at 4:30PM on Saturday, September 6th. It is all-you-can-drink: beer, wine, cocktails, softdrinks. There will be food, a DJ, live music, Pirate Costume competition, prize drawing and give-aways. The ship will depart at about 5:15 so make sure you get there early. After departure we will have a 90 minute sunset cruise around the Islands which are world famous and incredibly beautiful. After sunset, we will return to port at about 7:00PM. The fee for this party is 3000yen which includes everything. The ship departs from the Pearl Sea Resort which is in Kashimae in Sasebo. There is a big parking lot if you come by car, but you can also take a bus from Sasebo Train Station. There is an express bus from Sasebo Station that leaves every hour from 12:30 to 3:30, and you will get off the bus at Kashimae Sanbashi. Tickets can be bought from me beforehand. any hassle with directions give me a ring 090-6298-1982, email: pdh406 at ezweb.ne.jp

I have also rented out a dance club called Dazzle Puzzle for the night. Dazzle Puzzle is the only real Club in Nagasaki Prefecture and is a pretty sweet place. This party starts at 9:00PM and will be open until 2:00AM. There will be 5 dj’s spinning the beats for the night, all of whom are 2nd, 3rd, or 4th year ALT’s based around Nag Ken. Entrance fee is 1000 yen,and all drinks are 500 yen. Dazzle Puzzle is only 2 blocks from Sasebo Train Station and Bus Center. I’ll include some pics and a map.

There are cheap hotels that are downtown for around 5000yen so you can stay the night and check out Japan’s longest shopping arcade the next day. I will find out more info for Hotels later, but in the time being you can try to make friends with Sasebo ALT’s to find a free place to crash. There is also a train that leaves Sasebo at 11pm that goes through most of the Prefecture if you’d prefer to go home after the festivities Saturday night.

It’s going to be a great day so I hope everyone can make it. Block Reps rally the troops. If you have any questions just holla.
