However the reality is, this fantasy has not taken over yet. The International Association too is welcoming the 21st Century with steady footsteps forward. This year's biggest event was certainly World Street. As an experiment, previous years' International Festival changed place and name to join a town festival. The outdoor event's fate was cursed by rain and it is a shame that it did not really come to life.
Anticipation is high for next year.
Various monthly events and enjoyable office displays were spectacular. Sunday Story is snowballing in popularity and everyone worked very hard in the Japanese Classes. Last year's big news was Shaney returning to Canada. We now expect hard work by James from Britain. The International Association hopes for your continuing support in the 21st Century.
