 | | During her staff exchange, Yiota (or Yiot-chan, as she is fondly referred to in Obu) ran a series of very successful Greek cultural workshops in Obu, giving both adults and children the opportunity to learn the finer points of dancing like Zorba the Greek and munching on Greek biscuits over a cup of Greek coffee. |
 | | During her time in Obu, Yiota participated in many different activities, such as cha-no-yu (traditional tea ceremony), ikebana (traditional flower arrangement), Aikido (Japanese martial arts), karaoke, and was even Obu Postmistress For A Day. |
 | | In Obu, Shigeo works in the accounts department but during his three-month stay in Port Phillip that ended in late March 2002, he was involved in the development of a website that focused on environmental issues. |
