February 15, 2024: Had the pleasure of attending a luncheon meeting in Osaka with Mr. Paul F. Roland, Director of the State of Indiana Japan Office. Over delicious Teppanyaki, we engaged in enriching discussions spanning Japanese and American management philosophies, leadership dynamics, talent acquisition strategies, and training methodologies. I look forward to further development of the many Japanese companies operating in Indiana. https://tedsogo1996.blogspot.com/2024/02/february-15-2024-luncheon-meeting-in.html?m=1 By coincidence, my daughter and I visited this teppanyaki restaurant "Naniwa" in Nakanoshima four years ago. It was as delicious as ever! While stationed in the United States from 2011 to 2018, I had great interactions with the wonderful people of Indiana.

May 16, 2024: Stayed at "Wakei Juku (和敬塾)," a university dormitory in Tokyo. In the evening, I participated in “Kenseikan (拳誠館)” karate practice at the dojo here for the first time in about 40 years. Although I couldn't move as well as I used to and was exhausted, I was very happy to reunite with so many old friends. It was incredibly nostalgic. https://tedsogo1996.blogspot.com/2024/05/may-16-2024-stayed-at-wakei-juku.html?m=1 Since this is an old student dormitory, the washroom is shared, which brought back fond memories of my student days. I enjoyed drinking until late at a social gathering with friends from Kenseikan, and the next morning, I had breakfast at Wakei Juku. May 18, 2024: The reunion of 1982 graduates from Wakei Juku West Dormitory was held in Roppongi, Tokyo.
