Toshi is leaving

Our friend and colleague Toshihiko Izawa of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) leaves us this week after 2 years in Srebarna working alongside the local representative of the Bulgarian Academy of Science, Kolyo Mihof. We had a great party at the Resedentcia in the nearby village of Vetren on the Danube to mark this event. Here's some pics of the proceedings.

Great food laid on for all. Traditional Bulgarian fare and drink to acccompany it all of course.



Toshi and friends danced until they were dizzy. Lots of dressing up in national costumes and live music too.



International cooperation in action.
