It's tough to get me and 18 men at the right place at the right time for several days in a row!! I was stressed out to say the least! But my meeting was a success, and here's a few photos to prove it...
Kerri and her crew of (mostly) foreigners. If we count Canadians as "foreigners", then there is only one other American citizen in attendance!
Jazzy Kerri and Jazzy Dani at the bowling event on St. Patty's Day. It was total chaos, but everyone liked that you could smoke non-stop and seemed to enjoy themselves!! 
Pretty funny to see a bunch of guys in suits taking up 5 lanes at the bowling alley! 
My final day in Kentucky, I had some "free" time. I use that term loosely because I still had plenty of work meetings, and I felt guilty for not playing tour guide for the few foreigners left in town.
But in true American style, by the evening I got over my guilt and spent some time at Turfway Park betting on the ponies with my friends. (I won 4 races!) Finally we rounded out the busy week by going to a new (to me) bar in Covington. There were stained glass windows all over the place, including the ceilings. I found it slightly unsettling that we were drinking underneath all of these reminders of Jesus, the Disciples, and the Virgin Mary. The bar didn't look like a former Catholic church, but who knows?!
Here's a gift I received this week from a Mitsui visitor from Vancouver, Canada. He felt bad that he was unable to attend my big meeting last week, and I must have really made a nice impression on him through all of my emails!!

It's a special Canadian dollar from the 2010 Olympics, and I'm the only one in the office who received one! (Can anyone say "American Princess"?!) The best part about the whole thing is that if you live in Japan you may actually believe that the Olympics are still happening... I fell asleep last night watching the women's curling event on TV once again!
