253. Happy to have all in MTEC

Media Stragety (08ms) group has returned from the observation tour.
Tali and Ketemash said "We are happy to be back in home". It made me happy to know if the participants consider OIC as their "home away from home".

So, now in MTEC, all three groups, namely 08iec-a, 08ms, 08Kumamoto University courses are with us. Good.

08iec-a and 08ms are in the final stage of the training.
Take good care of yourselves both physically and mentally, since it has been getting cooler in the climate and you are going to be busier with your subject and farewell parties :)

250. Thanks, Yamon!

This is Ms. Yamon from Thailand. She was in 08dvp course in this year.
Today, her colleagues came to see MTEC staff. Unfortunately we had a staff meeting then, so no one could see them. A guest lecturere Ayako Nakazato exchanged some words and received a drian snack from yamon.
Here is Kiyuna san, her course leader. Though he looks serious, he is in fact very happy to have a bag of snack.... Yes, he is a chips and snack lover.
