... this is a sad end for you, I know, Shin, but many presidents besides Trump have required resignations from political appointee ambassadors .... but she has been superb in her role and Trump should take advantage of her nuanced approach to your culture and country.

Dang, that is a shame. I hope she is reappointed.

 

[Shinpachi]

We know any her predecessors were great and did their best too but she was exceptional.

Abe held a 'thank-you' party for Caroline on January 11.
She is said going to leave Japan on January 18.

This is a sequel.

Caroline's former boss suddenly appeared in Tokyo yesterday.
Just a local news but I was curious as Abe welcomed him.
