Mai Yanagawa
The first time I saw Mai she had tears in her eyes. Standing on stage at an Australian Consulate function she was bidding farewell to a superior with her colleagues. She was the first to cry, obviously a softy I thought. A few weeks later, we met at another consulate event and this time she had big black eye! I was afraid to ask why, but later I learned this charming and attractive woman was indeed a softy but also a licensed professional boxer! Read on to hear her story.
