Hi, everyone!
Cosmos, I also enjoyed Masai’s story.
As Magnolia said, it’s rather difficult to understand each other even in same human races. But it sounds nice that Magnolia would become stronger than before.
As for my husband, his mother is a typical Japanese good wife, and she always follow after her husband or son. She never talk back to them. (or, may be forced to do so.)
So, my husband often says to me, ‘You talk so big! ’
It was a sort of home environment, but just nonsense for me.
By the way, I luckily saw huge, twin rainbows yesterday.
Those formed for a long time at the evening sky in which the sun was loathe to set,
and the scene was really fantastic!
Did anybody see it?
So, it’s time to cook.
Good bye, and see you tomorrow.

Dear Cherry and friends,
I saw a big rainbow, too, but it was single. Rainbows seems to be a gift for us.
Talking back about Guam and Saipan, I prefer Guam to Saipan because of a tragic history of Saipan. Many Japanese visit to mourn the souls of the dead such as in Banzai Clif. I hear that there are still many bones sunk under the sea of Saipan. Saipan cannot stand as a pure resort.
Before visiting, my image of two places did not have so much difference, but it is differnt.
Good night
I have read all of your comments. They are so interesting.
Hello, my dearest friends!
As Magnolia mentioned, it is very difficult to sacrifice ourselves throughout life in order to get along well with others. Love has sometimes almighty power but sometimes makes people blind. And to make matters worse, it tends to be volatile. We should not live depending ourselves on such capricious love.
The Japanese woman said that what ties her and her husband is TRUST, not LOVE. She had divorced from ex-husband before. She had suffered from the feeling of doubt, jealousy, betrayal and hatred. Now there is no jealousy and hatred between the couple and even between the first wife and herself as the second wife, both trust their husband.
She is working in Naitobi as a tour conductor even now and come back tohusband’s village on off days. She enjoys city life and premitive life. She doesn’t sacrifice her own life and not damage husband’s life. That is the secret of success, I think.
Anyway, she is a rare woman, isn’t she?
Hi, everyone.
I was not aware of rainbows. Cherry, how lucky you were!.
How many colors in a rainbow is there? Your answer refers to if you are Japanese or not.
In Hawaii, some rainbows are often observed at the same time.
In today's early morning, I needed a blanket but the day before yesterday, I could not spleep well because of heat and sweated. Every-day-temperature is not welcomed by old people. Adjustment is difficult. However, my aquaporin seems to work well. Why do I know?
If you get up, you go to the John.
You know it.
Dear Peach, Thank you for your responding to my question.
Hello, my dear friends.
Last Friday I enjoyed modern English Rakugo performed by two middle-aged Japanese women who are comic storytellers supposedly in their 50s or 60s. They have belonged in ITC(International Training in Communication), a group whose purpose is to provide opportunities for self-improvement through training in communication skill and leadership skills.
Their expression and narrative skill in their rakugo were so powerful and fabulous that I really thought that the performance was surpassing even a professional rakugo storytellers by men. Needless to say, I nearly split my sides laughing.
Yasuko Otono, one of the performers has been a 19-year member of ITC and occasionally acts as master of ceremonies and a rakugo performer in these organizations, exercising the skills of presentation which she has learned in ITC training.
While listening to Yasuko Otono, I strongly felt that rakugo performance and our presentations such as Aichi seminar share two things in common. First good reactions and feedback from audience are essential for Rakugo and presentations. Secondly storytellers and speakers need practice to improve the skill of communication.
What rakugo performers encouraged me most seems to be that what they can do is what we can do. They really looked as “fūtsu no Õsaka no obashan. But they performed it enthusiastically and enjoyed having interactive comunications with audience.
We will not become a comic storyteller but we will improve communication skill and share a laugh and smpathy with people in the world!
I have enjoyed reading every comment of your interesting story.
Azalea,you finished reading 'The monogamous family'. I'm interested to read that book. Could you tell me who wrote it?
Cosmos, I enjoyed reading Masai's story. I strongly agree that "mutual trust" is the most important in marriage life.
Plum, when are you going back to Nagoya?
