It's On!

I reached my target, the fundraiser is over, and I talked to Iwasaki-sensei. I'm going to Niigata!

Well, to be perfectly honest my wife talked to Iwasaki-sensei, as I'm still nervous about speaking Japanese on the phone in really important situations.

But yes, this May I'll be going to Niigata to meet Iwasaki-sensei and Mizuochi-san and see their work first hand. What's more, I've been invited to stay at Iwasaki-sensei's house for the night!

I'm so excited I can't believe it.

And I want to thank you all for your help in my fundraiser. It was a real success, and it's helping me fulfill a dream.

Woo hoo!
