HURRAY WE ARRIVED SAFELY

Some months ago, account3 was invited by Meiji University to undertake a series of lectures to its graduate students.

On Friday 9th October 2009, Toni and Jo arrived at the Narita Airport, Japan, jetlagged but filled with anticipation and a lot of relief that we had not missedthe flight!

We were met by Ryoko and Kubu, old friends, who whipped us into Tokyo with typical Japanese effciency. The drive took about one and half hours through the financial and industrial districts ...passing Disneyland and Island of dreams before hitting Tokyo, a huge city housing 13million people.

So we are here, taking lots of snapshots of the cityand its beautiful people. Stay tuned for the pics!

It's that time of the year when we celebrate the achievement of a graduating class. On behalf of the staff and management of account3, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate all 79 graduating students. Your hard work and perseverance paid off towards achieving qualifications in the summer term of 2009.

Well done to you all and I wish you the very best for the future.
