Last night Masami and I had our anniversary with Vijay and Mayuko at Yellomoong in Ota. !!?
🎉It has been one year since our very first "Hello Ota" 🎉
HAPPY BIRTHDAY "HELLO OTA!"
I must admit it had slipped my mind with getting the few preparations done and then getting into the flow of chatting with
people.
Even though I had forgotten our anniversary it was like a party anyway! I had conversations with people of different ages,
genders and nationalities. It was great to hear all the chatting around me, too.
Although "Hello Ota" is an English meet-up, people were communicating in different languages. Not only English and Japanese
were being used but Portuguese and Spanish too. For a little while it was, "Olá Ota" & "Hola Ota". I even learnt the words for peacock and peahen in Hindi. 🇬🇧🇯🇵🇵🇹🇪🇸🇮🇳🇺🇸
Thank you to Vijay and Mayuko at Yellomoong for helping make "Hello Ota" happen, for the great food and drink and English
conversation too. Masami and I are grateful for being introduced to you by a mutual friend.
Another big thank you to everyone who has attended, past and present, for your enthusiasm, effort and joy of chatting in
English. I am very grateful for meeting you (even though I'm terrible with names!) and hope to see you next time.
