In response to some of the feedback we've gotten about our February event, we've decided to change the focus a little. Please take a look at our updated invitation.
Pre-Valentine's Day Women's Networking Event Theme: "International Romance"
For February's Joshikai, the author of Shortchanged: A Japanese Women's Guide to International Romance(www.sonsuru-japan.com), Mieko Mochizuki Swartz will give advice about international relationships and romance, addressing differences in communication styles and cultural expectations. The talk will be followed by time for networking, chatting and drinking.
Date: 2/11, Thursday Time: 6 pm for Author's Talk, Networking from around 7:30 pm Location: Owl Tree (2nd floor private lounge) 601 Post St., (between Taylor St & Trader Vic Aly), San Francisco, 415-359-1600 Price: $5 (To cover the fee for the private lounge rental) Food / Drink: You can buy drinks at the private bar, but they don't sell food. Feel free to bring your own food to the event. (There are many affordable, delicious restaurants nearby to get takeout.)
The advice / information given during the first half of this event will focus on the experiences of Japanese women, so Mieko's talk will be in Japanese. Those of us who aren't fluent in Japanese should feel free to join, as it will be great listening practice about an interesting topic! The second half of the event (from around 7:30) will be a networking event (like January's) where we can talk, drink and listen to a mix of Japanese / English music in a private lounge.
