WorldCall 2008 Fukuoka Japan



WorldCall 2008 in Fukuoka, Japan has been an incredible experience! I cannot say what was the best part of it.

WorldCall committee and all the people involved were so kind and efficient ! I would like to say thank you to Thomas Robb for his immence patience and kindness, Prof. Akio Iwasaki and Hisako Yamauchi, Mike Levy among others.

Meeting Webheads was fantastic! Most of the awardees were Webheads: Erika Cruvinel (Brazil), Hala Fawzi (Sudan), Neny Isharyanti (Indonesia), Evelyn Izquierdo (Venezuela), Nina Lyulkun (Ukraine), Jennifer Verschoor and I (Argentina). We also met Vance Stevens.

Webheads ladies formed a very nice and noisy group. We laughed a lot and had a great time talking about ourselves, families, work, dreams and projects.

As usual, the best part of conferences is meeting the people.
Your post is good proof of that.

I am sure it was a great experience going to Japan to participate in Worldcall. I also think that the best part of it was meeting the people, specially some of the Webheads and having much time to talk about many things.

I have friedns and family living abroad or in other cities, and they usually complain about the fact that I am pretty lazy for writing letters and going to the post office.

I used to have dial up connection, so my experience was a bit poor. I could not spend much time on line and...
