Film festival and mailing list

I'd like to recommend a mailing list called "Kumamoto-i". Information about Kumamoto is exchanged in English on this mailing list.

Recently, there was an announcement about a Short English Film Festival:

Kumamoto is having a Short English Film
Festival June 15th 2008 at the Kumamoto International Center

I recommend that you read Kumamoto-i from time to time. As you get more practice in reading in English, you will get information about events in Kumamoto. Some of the events may help you met people from other countries.
