七月二十日(shichigatsu hatsuka): July 20

It was another hot day here.

Today I happened to hear that The Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens in Delray Beach where I have worked for 2 years received the Foreign Minister's Commendations (外務大臣表彰:gaimu daijin hyosho) FY 2010.
This year Commendation was awarded to 58 individuals and 39 groups.
They say:
The Foreign Minister’s Commendations are awarded to individuals and groups of outstanding achievements in international fields, to acknowledge their contribution to the promotion of friendly relations between Japan and other countries. The Commendation also aims to promote the understanding and support of the Japanese Public for their activities.

I am very glad to hear about this and feel proud of having worked there.

Congratulations!!
