I read with interest the news about Tokyo’s bid for the 2020 Olympics (Jan. 9). Having spent some of the best years of my life pursuing higher studies in Tokyo, I can vouch for the hospitality, civility, discipline and superb organizing ability of Tokyoites.

I hope the Games will go to Tokyo as the most deserving candidate. 'Gambatte kudasai,' Tokyo. — K.M. Maniruzzaman, Dammam
