Why "VAMOSU"?
VAMOS means "come on/let's go"
in Spanish.
It is also used to show support to someone.
In Japanese:
- "su" (す) is a “hiragana” character and also the last syllable of many verbs (related to action). The style of this character also reminds us of a compass joining North, South, East, and West.
- "su" (巣) also means web (as in a spider’s web).
With our multi-local expertise, VAMOSU is your action oriented source ("web") of resources, ready to support and facilitate your international interaction!
