193. Observation Tour - 07amt course

Observation Tour! Observation Tour!
From February 17 - 21, the group of 07amt went for the observation tour.
Kaneshiro san (aka Brandy san), the training coordinator, and Nishimura san,the course leader attended them.

The tour visited metropolitan area (Tokyo and Chiba) and Kansai (Osaka and Kyoto).
February is the coldest month in Japan. I imagine it was too cold for some of those who are from tropical nations, but comfortable for others from chilly climate. Was it?

191. Birthday boy!

In more than 20 years history, MTEC (or ex-AVT) has hosted 767 participants from 76 countries. I think this is many enough, but still there are unknown countries where we have never met anybody from yet.

This time, in 07amt course, there are two countries that we host for the first time.
Kiribati and Kyrgyztan.

From Kiribati, we have Temarawa Tebao. Kiribati is an island nation on the Pacific. Click on this if you want to know more about Kiribati.

And from Kyrgyztan, we have Sundeev Dmitri and Alipova Kanykey (left to right). Click on this if you want to know more about Kyrgyztan.

The course will be conducted by Nishimura san as the course leader and Uramoto san as the sub course leader.

This time, we had Kazuhide Kimura (left) and Satoshi Kuramochi (right) from JICE Okinawa Branch. Since we MTEC is a team under JICE, we appreciate their attending, though the participants have few chances to meet them.

All attendance made self introduction. "Last, but not least" was the first word from our Daddy Kaneshiro san, the training coordiator, who always makes tricky jokes.
