CHIC End of year Party

Over 30 people came along to the Brazilian restaurant for our end of year party. Takashi won the 3000 yen jackpot in the janken game, and Sergio's team demonstrated their expertise on the subject of CHIC and mountains by winning the quiz. Kaori's impersonation of a mountain bird is the funniest thing I have seen all year.

Sample quiz questions:

1. Name one mountain in Japan beginning with each vowel (A, E, I, O and U).
2. Name 3 hikes that the club has done twice this year
3. What are three benefits of hiking?
4. How do you say "peak" in Japanese?
5. What were 5 dishes at this year's CHIC autumn BBQ

Get practicing ready for next year!
