Memo: A day after Big Deluge in Kumamoto, we had some rain today
in our erea as well, but not too hard rain. The newspaper article
was ready to be shared, but we prefered to know each other.
We came to know each other better, the introduction of the country
of Romania by Lumi was especially appreciated. I am so happy to
be aquianted to Hitoko too, who must know A to Z of Hitoyoshi!
It was a very nice first meeting! Thank you so much.
