Irrashai Nakatani san

Nakatani san with Ilhan
Good turn out..

A couple of weeks ago, we (former students of Wakayama Dai) had a mini reunion. The occasion was to meet up with our 'okasan' from Wakayama. Nakatani san is the head of a volunteer group can WIN Concord. Thegroupd wasset up with the hope of fostering ties with foreigners living in Wakayama and who else to represent this than we, the international students.

See, Nakatani san and the other member of WIN really took good care of us when we were there. We would be lying if they have not more than once helped us out or did us a favour or two during our stay there. Be it from organising trips, looking for apartments, providing basic ammenities to sorting things out when we got in trouble with police and that kind of stuff.

IT was no surprise when most of us who were available that day did not hesitate when I told them she was here and wanted to meet up. With the exception of Belle, Kadok, Chipoet and Intan (note the similaritie - all from East Cost and it was the Aidil adha break), we managed to meet up at Just Thai in 1 utama.

Nakatani san was happy to see that we have progressed well ( as she was really worried how some of us would turn out, hehe, we were young once..) and to see so many kids around..

For Nakatani san and other friends from Japan, you are most welcome to Malaysia and this time, let us return the favour to you guys..
