Hi Andrew, This certainly IS a very special time as you start a new chapter of your life. A very exciting chapter. I remember December 2007 extremely well. A month before we launched blognation Japan and at the kickoff event at the Outback restaurant in Shibuya someone tapped me on the shoulder and I turned around to that very recognizable grin. "Hi! My name is Andrew Shuttleworth!" My immediate reflex was, "Of course! I know you!" - yet it was the FIRST time we met in person! Ever since that day you have been an inspiration, supporter, collaborator and VERY good friend. It is I who is very grateful and it is with sincerest excitement I wish you the VERY BEST as you make this transition to your new position, your new roles and your new life. Don't fear the loss of ANYTHING as you make this transition. You will continue to be a respected business leader in the Tokyo/Japan tech community and will continue to bring the community together in exciting new ways. We'll make sure you do! Thanks again for being a great person and a great friend Andrew. Please call on me anytime for opinions, support or just to chat. All the best, Robert@Sanzalone.com Nagoya
