...I was skeptical at first, when I was invited to join the Japanese OTP translator meetup via Google Hangout. ... ., and I got a lot out of "hanging out" with fellow OTP members. Thanks everyone! (Akiko)

...6 hours, which sounded forever before the meeting, passed very quickly and left me with a very nice memory. (Name1)
