For our last dinner in Japan, we had a special fest with a lot of food and a lot of beer and sake. I was very emotional because the welcome I received from the Yamamoto familly in Japan was extraordinary. I took some funny shots with Hiroaki-san as it is not the custom in Japan to have any form of body contact, even for family members. Mitsuko got her hug too on the next day before the departure.
