Hiatus

It's the holidays season, but unfortunately, I will be away on leave. As such, my blog will be on a temporary hiatus until I return in mid-January 2013.

Happy summer/winter holidays and have a happy new year!

2012 Year in Review - Part Two: Global

The 48 group is no stranger to overseas outings, its groups having been to Guam, Macau and the USA (to name a few) in the past. 2012 has been no exception to that rule. However, 2012 also bears the distinction that it is the first full year in which Yasushi Akimoto's ("Aki-P") plans for global expansion are well and truly in motion. I aim to consider how these international outings have fared during the course of 2012, and whether there are any issues that still need consideration.
