We always looked forward to a visit from Keiko, who often came to Thailand around this time of year, usually with a few students from Japan. Eid made all of the arrangements for her stay in Chiang Mai, and sometimes we accompanied her on trips to the border.
Libby was an intern from Australia who became a staff reporter for DVB around the time I became editor of their website. Shiho was the only student from Japan to accompany Keiko on this trip.
