Anieza Noor
Fukuoka is well known as a comfortable place to live for Japanese, but what about foreigners? Both Rainbow Plaza and Kokusai Hiroba do a great job at providing information and support services in foreign languages; but ultimately no one knows the needs of foreigners better than foreigners themselves. With that in mind, Anieza inaugurated Fukutomo Club, a registered NPO that organizes events in which foreigners network with other foreigners and Japanese. Read on to learn more about Anieza, a Hakata dialect speaking cross-cultural communicator from Malaysia.
