MTEC gathering

Well, should we call it "party", not "gathering"??
Whatever.
The three new courses are here with MTEC, why don't we offer an occasion like this?
We went to "RIO" in downtown Naha last night.
I hope everyone got to know each other, especially with those in other courses.






Who is asking "When is the next occation?" :)

Hi, hope you are all doing fine here and there...where??

I just changed MTEC profile photos shown on the blogger.
Though the previous one (made by one of our previous participants) was excellent, it was not proper any more due to some changes.
Here it is!

Can you tell all names?
