Hello, Kacky

Hi, Kacky, one of my best friends in Japan. For my other friends' information, her real name is Rikako. She is a mother of two (a son and a daughter) and works as an advisor for a Japanese NGO which runs a domestic violence shelter. She used to work for a Japanese newspaper, where we met, and then for a NGO in northern Thailand. She is fluent in Thai. The NGO provided education for girls and kept them out from prostitution. She is the one who I drunk 8 big bottles (or more?) of Singha beer with....and we became a local legend:-p I saw her when I was visiting Japan two weeks ago and told her about this blog. We call each other "Kacky" and "Assy." So, ok, Kacky, this is my blog. I hope you can find time to visit once in a while....
