Osaka VT Meeting on 12 April 2003!

It was a great meeting with wonderful people!
Please see our travelogue "Osaka VT Meeting on 12 April 2003" :-)

From left to right.... two ladies from Japan, Tom & Gonnie(tompt) from Netherland, Me(AyurinHiro),Sonia(Heywinks) from Boston(now living in Himeji),
And my husband Hiroyuki was taking this photo!

My most favorite spot---Osaka Castle

I'm so lucky... my office is located just near Osaka Castle.
Everyday, I bring my lunch box and eat it in front of the castle!

Tunnel of cherry trees!

Every early April, we enjoy the beauty of cherry blossoms!

    I was in Granvia Hotel, never knew about that view-roof. Too bad.
