Issue:

BIRGA TESKE is happy to join the FCCJ again after four years back in her home country of Germany. Birga has called Japan her home for part of the last 20 years. The first time she came was on a school exchange program to Osaka; she returned, this time to Tokyo’s Hitotsubashi University as an exchange student. After graduating from the department of economics at University of Cologne and earning a journalism degree, she began working for the financial newspaper Boersen-Zeitung in Frankfurt, which eventually sent her back to Tokyo as a foreign correspondent. On this visit, she’s a freelancer covering financial, economics and political news for several European newspapers.
