I am grateful to Hellen who accepted to let me stay at her house at short notice. We had only a day and a half to organize my visit and Hellen made sure it went smoothly. She and her husband Mohamed was very friendly and they even asked me to join them for a meal at a beer garden and to a jazz concert on my last night. I was also pleasantly surprised that Hellen speaks good Japanese since she lived in Tokyo a few years ago.
