I met Simon in the Netherlands and we flew together to Copenhagen, arriving on the night of the 17th. We then met Cecilia in Falsterbo, a city on the southern tip of Sweden that reminded me a bit of the Japanese city of Karuizawa. I brought Simon and Cecilia together to discuss our plans for Europe. I mentioned this before, but it really is a cozy house. Cecilia later told me however that many British people are not particularly fond of staying in the houses of people they hardly know, and I regretted having decided upon this arrangement without consulting either of them first. Simon also had a bit of a nervous face initially, but he soon warmed up and we had a great meeting. We decided on a plan of action and confirmed each of our roles. Afterward, we went to a restaurant at a local golf course for a delicious Swedish lunch.
Back in Japan, Hanapu should be debuting for the first time as a trainer right about now. I hope it’s going well!
