Hello everyone,
If I could summarize in a few words what happened to Hideko and me along the past 20 years, I would say: "IN & OUT". Some might say, no wonder, but actually I would never have imagined that we would go out of Japan and back in again so many times.
Let's look back at our diary in a very simple matter starting from 1985, end of ETP IV:
3 years in Japan, 6 years in France, 2 years in Japan, 5 years in France, 6 years in Japan, 1,5 years in France... if you count well, this leads us to 2008!
Another interesting statistics: 60 round trips between France and Japan during the last stay in Japan. I'm sure it does ring a bell to some of you.
Well I survived and we are happy to settle down in France now, and most probably for the rest of my working life, which should end after another set of 3 summer olympic games... ;>)
In conclusion, I would say that I shall do my best to be in Japan for the November "summit", but due to family-in-law matters, it is very difficult to plan for now.
Hoping to hear from some of you soon. Cheers. Christian W.
