Gokon

One of my Japanese friends asked some of the exchanges students if we wanted to go to a gokon, or a Japanese group blind date. It was a lot of fun, but an interesting experience at the same time.
1. Our friend Ryohei and his friend Momoe organized the night. When we met everyone in Shibuya, we didn`t speak to each other the whole walk over to the restaurant. We actually didn`t interact until we did introductions at the table.
2. The boys and girls initially sit across from each other, and then ask each other questions in a line.
3. Later, they wrote everyone`s name on a piece of paper and did this cool ladder thing to figure out seating arrangements.

It was a lot of fun, but very organized; just like everything else Japanese.
