Shota came from Nagoya, Japan and had to fly for more than twelve hours between Tokyo and Paris. He was very brave to join this work camp since he has been learning English only for four months. However, he managed to communicate easily and seems to enjoy each little discovery such as the " very delicious " pears, raspberries and fish and chips... Daniel is also teaching him some Spanish so that Shota will soon become polyglot like a "professional" !
