All I can say about the previous 3 meetings in Japan is:

素敵 !!!

I would like to say thank-you to Mr. Y. D. Kim, Mrs. Joo Yeon Im (pictured above) and their team for making the arrangements.

We started off in Tokyo.



The room was packed with a great group of serious, smiling faces... all taking notes.

I told the story about back in early 2000 when I had traveled to Japan a number of times.

Most of the people I met didn't speak English, and as I was introduced to them, I had noticed that they could all say one thing in English... that one thing was "I'm sorry, I don't speak English."

(I should have been apologizing to them since I was in their country but found it odd they were all apologizing to me).

Anyway, one night I was invited to go out for Karaoke.

It came time for a gentleman who was sitting next to me to get up and sing.

He sang Elvis Presley's "Love me Tender" song.

He sang it perfectly.  Every word was sang as if he himself had written the song.

After he finished, he came back and sat down beside me, and I looked at him and said "I didn't know you speak English".

He looked at me and said "I'm sorry, I don't speak English."

Next, we headed to Osaka where I again was honored to speak in front of a packed crowd.



I showed them my one and only magic trick of how to make money disappear (you'll have to ask one of them how it works :-)

Lastly, but most certainly not least, we went to Fukuoka.

A very beautiful city located on the southern "island" of Japan.

Again, I met so many sincere and excited people.



It was a great experience... I spoke, and Mr. James Soh (bottom, center of picture above) translated for me - from English to Korean... and Mrs. Joo Yeon Im translated from Korean to Japanese (a 3-way translation).  It showed how truly "global" En101 is!

I want to say thank you to everyone who attended the meetings.  It was a pleasure to meet each and every one of you!

I can't wait to go back (which I plan to before the end of April.)

As I predicted back on January 12th of this year, Japan has begun!

Best regards,
