Arrival at Sacramento

On 17th we flew from Seattle to San Jose. Upon arrival, Steven came to pick us up and we heeded towards Marry's home who has been a great supporter for ARI. In the afternoon we drove to Davis and finally to Sacramento. It is warm finally after 12 wks of Seattle time. We prepared a booth to display Asian Rural Institute in the convention center and were prepared for the meeting for the next day. I am excited to have the meeting and see how people respond to the acitivities of ARI and its training program.

Visit to bay area

I am now preparing for the visit to bay area. JB san is taking me and Sylvester for this visit on behalf of graduates of Asian Rural Institute. We will be attending the Annual General Meeting of American Friends of Asian Rural Institute, Japan. I am eager to attend the meeting as well as to see a new place in the United States. I hope this trip will enlarge my understanding of the country, people and culture.
