A few days ago I knew this blog had a new reader. I haven't expected it. I have been thiking of closing this blog, but I'll write a little more.
Christmas is gone, and the new year will soon come. How were your days in Japan this year? Did you enjoy the days here? I hope you did. Living in other countries and other cultures will give you a great chance of learning. I wish I could have such a chance when I was young.
Yesterday I watched a film of a fifteen-year-old girl who went to stay in Mongoria
alone. She could not go to school those days, and she wanted to change herself. Yes, through the experience in another cculture, she changed a lot. The person who was taking care of her through the horse riding lesson, and arranged the trip to Mongoria is one of our friends. He loves the people of Mongoria and their way of life a lot. What are you learning here in Japan?
In 2009, the president of the U.S. and the primeminister of Japan both changed. We, Japanese people found a great hope in Obama's adress referring to the ressetion of the nuclear weapons. The Nobel Peace Prize to him ment an expectation or encouragement, we thought. But in his speech as a winner of the prize, he justified the U.S. wars. Justice for what? And the issue of the U.S.army base in Okinawa. The U.S. army has more than 140 bases in this small Japan, and we pay more than 200000000000 yen to support them every year. Why does the U.S. government ge
t angry when we want to remove only one of those 140 bases? Our new government of Japan is not brave and they can't be against their boss, I'm afraid.
I get too mad when I think of this issue. Calm down, it's the end of the year. What's your plan for the New Year's holidays? We will be with our sons' families. I'm happy to see our younger son and his wife after five months and to enjoy the New Year with our sons' families.I wish you all and all the world a happy new year!
