One of my closest, post-college friends is getting married this weekend in Cambridge!
In 2008, we both to a leave of absence from our consulting firm to volunteer at a microfinance non-profit, Kiva.org. In the midst of "do gooding," we bonded over a love of beer, gossip, blackberry messenger, fancy dress, shabu-shabu karakoe, not being a consultant for awhile and general mischief. I also loved her British accent and constantly failed at imitating it.
When she returned to London (where she unfortunately broke her nose the first day back in heels at the office), I knew the only way I could return to normal work was getting on a project in Europe. We soon reunited for even more fun, traveling around Europe on an expense account.
In advance of the wedding, I collected a lot of photos from our last 5 years of adventures for a scrapbook. Here's some of the dirt I dug up on us (I must say, we look pretty fun)

ReplyDeleteDear Arthur,
Hello, this is Tomo.
I'm 1st year student in UCLA located at Los Angeles.
We will start a web service, called "eCurator" from 3rd August.
eCurator is a web-based platform that connects overseas travelers to local residents in the area they are traveling to help provide travel advice and recommendations.
I moved to LA in last August to study at UCLA.
Thanks to the advice from people who have lived in LA for a long time, my life in LA has become colorful.
So, I came to think that if local people provide travelers with their experience, their travels become more fun and something unique.
You put out the useful information about your living city on your blog.
So, could you talk to taravelers and share them with your local experience?
In return for your kindness, travelers will pay you $6.5 for 30 minites conversation as a gratitude through our website.
Our concept is that local residents can earn some money which allows them to buy Starbucks Latte and Scone if they talked to prospect travelers.
If you are interested in this service, please access the link below.
It explains the detail of eCurator and contains contact info.

Hope you will share your special experience with travelers
Best Regards,
Tomo
