Breakfast with AIA President Helene Dreiling

This morning fellow AIA Japan members and I had the pleasure of meeting 2014 AIA President Helene Dreiling for breakfast, as she was in Japan to participate in a JIA conference. It was an excellent opportunity to discuss with Helene recent actiivities of our chapter and our future plans. Pictured left to right are AIA Japan 2014 President Yasu Sakurai, Hiroyuki Isobe, Scott Gold, Yasu Yanagisawa, me, Helene Dreiling, and Nicolai Kruger.

After ordering 2 pancakes for breakfast, Helene was surprised but very gracious with the Japanese-sized 4-inch diameter....definitely not American portions here...
