    JuneNewsletter 2010 Greetings fellow Jet Alum and welcome to the fi rst offi cial JETAA SA newsletter of the year! I apologise for it being somewhat late in coming – 2010, as many of you have probablyobably yourselvesyourselves experienced, has certainly been an action packed year already, and with all the ‘gees’gees’ ofof the World Cup bubbling up across the country, it has been hard not to join in all the excitementitement and leave the hard work for another day! The JETAA SA exec has been busy creating a new group Facebook page though,h, and we are hoping that as our following on the page grows, we will be able too communicate with all of you much better through that medium. So, if you haven’t already joined, PLEASE look us up at JETAA South Africa and join the group. We would love to see your Japan photos, hear about your Jet experiences and what you’re up to now, so post something on our wall and let’s get re-connecting! With the offi cial kick-off of the World Cup almost upon us, all of the foreign teams havee already started jetting into the country, including the Japanese national football team! I, for one, am extremely excited to watch them play against the Netherlands in Durban nextnext week, and while I know all of you will be waving your South African fl ags proudly, there’sere’s no reason why you can’t wave a Hinomaru fl ag in the other hand too! With that in mind,ind, we have dedicated the entire newsletter to interesting facts and titbits to get you betteretter acquainted with the Japanese side before they grace our stadiums this month.
