It truly feels like a small world. When I learned that Ippei—whom I studied with in the U.S. six years ago—would be attending the international academic conference here in Busan, we arranged to meet. We caught up last night over drinks at the lounge beneath the hotel, sharing updates about our lives. We also talked about our Japanese friends who are now established mid-career lawyers, as well as a friend who is currently in Mexico. It’s remarkable how connections continue in such unexpected ways.
