Thaths and I met up with Shradha (quite a character on livejournal) a
couple of years back when she was in kyoto - she's in the bay area now
Did a post grad course in Japan (Keio U I think) and then worked as an
exec
assistant in the office of the chairman at Sanyo. Speaks fluent japanese,
got quite immersed in japanese culture ..
Got reminded of that seeing an IP post some hours back about how Japan is
finally, reluctantly, hiring more engineers from abroad.
We're getting a tad off topic here, but you may want to stress quite
heavily the /finally/ and /reluctantly/ bits in the graph above. :)
