Takashi called us on Skype from Nagano.

  For the first time in eight years, a strong typhoon is approaching Japan's mainland in June. In Wakayama, southern Honshu, there was a rainfall of 40 mm per an hour. I am afraid it will cause much damage. According to the forecast, the typhoon will go across Honshu and come straight to Hokaido.
  In the afternoon, Takashi called us on Skype from Nagano. Takashi is now staying in Japan and yesterday he hosted some kind of meeting at his alma mater, Tokyo Institute of Technology. He was staying at Dr.Yamashita, his uncle, in Nagano. Dr.Yamashita also attended the meeting, and said Takasi's meeting was very successful attended by about 60 academic people and entrepreneurs including a former prime minister Naoto Kan. Takashi is going to leave Japan to travel on business to Bangkok,Thailand, and Shanghai, China, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. He is too busy to come here home.
