I have to write about Mr. D here. He is a Japanese soccer player and also a student learning how to manage a soccer team in Freiburg. As you know, Germany is highly advanced in the field of soccer. Naturally, his German ability is wonderful. Consequently, he became a kind of leader of Japanese people who live in and around the city. He seems to assist the Japanese Consul or companies which would like to build up some relationship with German people. Anyway, it was lucky to have contact with him. He is really a reliable man.
He was kind enough to help us to open Yuri's bank account and activate her cellular phone. It took an hour, but we would have taken much more time without him. After that, we had a coffee break at the shop in the picture. He gave us useful lessons about Freiburg. After lunch in a nice Italian restaurant, he helped her to apply for a student visa. We were totally grateful for his assistance.
