Its really good to know about the community and pittiest part is didnt get to know while I was in Japan...Here I want to share my experience in Japan where I in my initial days in Japan, felt quite deserted among the strangers, diffirent culture, living style, food habit. It took me a very long time to make myself adjusted to Japanese Environment. That time I should have come to know about this Forum, might be it would have given me a bit pleasure to have some Oriyas around me.....anyways Better luck Sujata for the next trip...
