Tamires Brumer GV staff Jennifer Sarah GV Editor Francisca Park GV staff She is happy to introduce about the place that she loves the most in Yamanashi in this edition. Also, this is her first time to be the GV Editor. She feels so thankful because of all the support and help from the team and readers! Thank you all! Francisca is the new Canadian CIR in Yamanashi Prefecture since August 2014. Ever since she arrived in Japan, she has been obsessed with Japanese sweets, wagashi, especially dango. Although she misses her family, friends, and Moka (her cat) back in Vancouver, her every day in Yamanashi has been full of adventure and new challenges. This is Tamires` first and last contribution to the Grapevine. Holding back tears and trying not to crack a smile at the same time, it’s time for her to say goodbye and go back home. This has been a challenging and enriching eight months experience. She is extremely grateful for being part of Grapevine team and for living surrounded by the quietude and magnificence of Mount Fuji in this peaceful place called Yamanashi! Thank you all!
