JASC cannot operate with just the AECs. We have a counterpart, the JECs who reside somewhere far far away in the Pacific Ocean surrounded by lush blue waters. Without them, we are simple ASC and that is pitifully sad.
They are intellectually stimulating to talk to, have charming and witty personalities and in general, amazing people. As most of them attend universities in the Tokyo area, they are able to meet up more frequently than we do (they have a monthly weekend retreat – this is especially important as the 61st is a Japan year and so they are planning most of the site coordinating). Attached is a pic of them during their retreat in mid October.

We miss them a lot. However, due to a lovely phenomenon called globalization, we are able keep in touch with each other fairly often. The RTs, site coordinators, chairs, and committees communicate on a regular basis via e-mail, chats, phone calls and skype sessions. Modern technology has conquered the challenges of physical distances...maybe?

Yeah! Globalization allowed me to meet with Moto on Wednesday in Kyoto! Or wait-- maybe it's because I live in Japan... Sometimes I confuse 'live in Japan' with 'globalization.' Gomen ne.
JMD> Oh, but with globalization, you can stay in Japan with ease.
If it was 70 years ago, you couldn't be in Japan, ne? :D
