[1] Nevertheless, early November weeks seems ideal time. Our rainy weather should be done by then and temperature will be around ~31°C. And with sea breeze we _may_ not feel more than that. Regarding visa, sorry I don't think I can issue any supporting documents. Since it is more like an informal gathering, I guess applying for visit/tourist visa might be enough (sssh! you never heard this from me). But this option will be challenging for our friends from western African countries. > And well, we did not get any answer yet from Hideki.
