gokon is basically where a group of single men and ladies get together, hoping to find romantic partnership. y would i go? wat other reasons r there beside the food available? since it's held in shokudo at heeren with a buffet treat =P tot it's not bad to know more people.. but i doubt there will be alot people around my age. and i was right..
anyway, i was thinking about how the event will go before the event itself and tot that the organiser will probably get 2 groups to sit together, probably 2 groups of around the same age.. whereby they can have some chit-chat session.
i have to say it was kinda mess-up @ the registration area? i saw their nametag all messed up. although itx aready bundle up in groups, but all the no. r randomly lying around on the table. itx kinda hard to find your group no. probably they can make it such that 1 person give out group no. 1-10, another 11-20, n so on.. it will definitely be more organized. so gokon, it usually starts with ice-breaker.. i was thinking the ice-breaker didn't really break the ice. if they r really thinking of having a "gokon" session, doesn't ice-breaker set the most important time of the whole event? but i was thinking wat kinda ice-breaker really helps to break the ice? i cant really think of any.. but this, in my point of view might work.
getting the people to show their hidden talent^^ it's alright for small group, but not big group. while all e games r going on, some food r being served. sashimi, sushi, tempura.. great, aren't them? then there's magician around to show u some trick which wouldn't surprise u too much if u r like me, some1 who watch magic show often.. then it was buffet time (which was what i had been waiting for). although there was a restricted menu which we can order from, it's still good for the little amount we paid.
but i didnt take any picture of foodiex this time round.. tot the waffle with ice-cream is real good=D!! i m gonna have it next time i head down to shokudo. the buffet was e time 4 people to get to know eachother.. so u c those guys walking around passing their contact or asking 4 contact. i was kinda surprised there are so many brave people around who are not scared of asking for contact directly. i live in a world where most guys don't do this..
but i tot that the "gokon" wasn't really gokon. since we sat in our own group chatting n eating together with people who we aready know.. isn't gokon getting to know people who u do not know in the 1st place? i think gokon still work better for smaller group.. since it's really about sitting down, chit-chatting, have some simple games n get to know eachother..
