Mikiko-san as Toastmaster of the day set ‘Goodwill sharing’ as the meeting theme.
In a small session, some of us shared their updates on how they enjoyed Christmas holiday season!
We have 16 members in the group including five guests from China and Singapore!
The Word of the Day by Hideki-san was “Tasteful”, it means to be made, decorated, or chosen with good taste.
e.g.) Japanese rice fields arranged in a staircase pattern on a very steep slope.
