My old and dear friend

Today, I met one of my oldest and dearest friends from the States, well actually from Sophia University. While I was in the university, she came to Sophia from the States for a year as an exchange student and we participated in one of the student organizations. We spent lots of time and efforts to make it successful and that experience is such a precious memory for me.

It has been almost 7 years since we last met, but the moment when we saw each other in the office, we went straight back to the old days and the time gap was gone instantly. (sounds like girl/boyfriend having long distance relationship... hahaha)

It is so interesting that we happened to be working at a same company in a difference country and we did not know it until a few weeks ago. 運命ですね（笑

Anyway, we talked more than 1 hour in a cafe and the conversation was just endless. She has not changed a bit, still energetic and enthusiastic about her life and positive toward everything.
I am so grateful to have a friend like her. Having such a friend is my treasure...

Well, as she will be participating in the Gasshuku next year, I've gotta to go there as well. I have a feeling that something will start to change in this company with a strong passion coming out of someone like her. After all, maybe this company is more global than I thought? We will see...

Hey Jasmine, make sure to talk about me when you are escorting the vice president while in the States. There is something in him, something very warm, caring and passionate...
