Hi, everyone!
These days it becomes cool a little at night, doesn’t it?
I hope all of you will be all right.
In the long nights of autumn, I just feel like reading a good book with which I could dream another world.
While I learned part of Engels’s work, I was really burdened with many philosophies, from Greek myths, the Bible, to an opera. I have no idea of them!
So now, I try to read ‘ Sophie’s world,’ a best seller book of more than ten years ago,
which had been left on my bookshelf. It is pretty nice for me. The author of this book is a Norwegian. I wonder his philosophy was nurtured by the beautiful nature.
It will be time to cook. Everyday, cook and cook.
So, see you tomorrow, good bye!

Dear my precious friends,
I am back in Nagoya, and I am very happy about it.
I hope all of you are well and enjoying this early autumn evening.
I don’t know how I spent the past few days. I was extremely busy and was tired all the time, and, terribly enough, don’t remember anything that could have happened during these days. I was numb spatially and temporally. I am just relieved that I am back home. Probably I will recall how I was, I hope, maybe slowly though, in a couple of days.
Alice, I understand how busy you will be until you finish what you have to do. So we can meet for a feminist theory tutorial one day in October.
Magnolia, I got the gel and cream, and everything is OK. I will get you them when I meet you next time.
Cherry, although I was not so fine before and after my departure from Sydney to Nagoya, I was always thinking about your blog. I really appreciate your efforts to keep writing this blog. I know how hard it is to write every day, and you are doing a wonderful job. I thank you million times.
Tomorrow morning I have a meeting to attend in Sakae, and cannot make it to Jonathan’s meeting held at Cosmos’ place, but I really, really hope you have a fabulous and significant time with him and talk about the topic in English as much as you could. Just, talk, talk, and talk. Don’t let him talk. You talk, and he listens. OK?
My lovely friends, I will talk to you tomorrow. I am still very tired, and I will go to bed soon. Goodnight.
Hello, Cherry and my friends.
Welcome back to Nagoya, Plum! I’m really very happy and relieved to know that you’ve come back home. I hope you take a good rest and relax yourself at your cozy and comfortable room. I can imagine how enormously you devoted yourself to help your daughter. Ulala-san must have thanked you for your great dedication to her and her family from the bottom of her heart. I really hope you banish the fatigue of your long trip as soon as possible.
Thank you for your practical and aggressive advice for Jonathan’s seminar. Yes, I’ll keep it in mind. I’ll try to just keep talking and let him not talk.
Cherry, you appear to be very familiar with English rakugo. Actually I enjoyed rakugo at the general meeting at CCEA(Cross Cultural Exchange Association) to which I’ve belonged for more than several years. There are about 80 members and less than half of them are no-Japanese. Every month CCEA invites some special guests for members. In September we invited rakugo performers for us. If you’re interested in CCEA, you can access to www.cceanagoa.com. If you’d like to know more about it, please let me know.
I’m expecting to join the classes of a feminist theory in someday in October.
It’s almost in the middle of September. Time flies so quickly, doesn’t it? Please take care of yourself, my friends. It’s time for us to feel summer fatigue.
Good night.
H, everyone.
Plum, welcome back to Japan. You are expected to take it easy.
Cherry, I also appreciate your efforts. We have enjoyed and learned thanks to your work a lot.
The day before yesterday and today, I was jeopardized by two men who drove a car, talking by cellular phone. They violated the traffic law. They seemed to be in the 20's. From any directions you see, they looked idiot. I don't want to be involved in such stupidities. I told my husband. He asked 'Did you explode with anger?'
I said 'No, I was frightened but I saw the moron face well.' Recently, I am afraid of blowing the horn, it is because absurd people roam. A young man with a maron face don't know that he infringes the traffic law or can't predict he would bring about a traffic accident.
Hi, Cherry and everyone.
Welcome back to Nagoya, Plum. I was wondering if you are too tired to write a comment after a long hard work with your lovely daughter's family.
Now you are relieved, but you may miss them soon, don't you? When will they come back to Japan?
You will be busy again here, but don't overdo it. The overstrain will affect your health, so take it easy and relax for a while.
Thank you very much for getting me the gel and cream. I'm looking forward to them. See you in October.
Tomorrow I'll attend Jonathan's gathering.
Dear Cherry and friends,
Hello.
Plum, welcome back and thank you for your kind consideration about the lecture meeting. I hope you will resume your fitness and your old life soon.
Cosmos, thank you for answering my question. She sounds like an economically independent person. Like the traditional tribe's Masai, The Ainu people also try to reserve their culture and preserve old villages called kotan, but they don't live there. They commute from modern houses to old huts. Kotan is actually a workplace for them.
I came back from Takayama yesterday. Takayama city preserves old buildings and the central area near jinya, an ancient manor house, look old. The logo of Family Mart in that area is neither blue or green, it's brown. There seem to be landscape rules. It's a comfortable-looking town.
The Takayama city library looks like a prewar school building. Its inside is very new. It's apparently renovated recently. We studied in one of the seminar rooms in the library.
I shared a hotel room with a Chinese student. She is a student of the doctoral course. We talked a lot at night. Only partly, I felt she is from another culture, and the gap is close enough that I can feel that we almost share our sentiments. Indeed, she is interesting. I like her serious attitude and delligence which inspire me a lot.
Enjoy long and cool autumn nights.
Take care.

Hello, my dearest friends!
Welcome home, Plum. We are looking forward to the time of your coming back to Nagoya. I suppose that you had a busy but fantastic time with your daughter’s family in Sydney. Yujin and his mother might miss you now and you might have a feeling to go back to them. You may be torn between conflicting demands. Anyway please take a rest for while.
Today we have had a nice talking time at Jonathan’s classs. We talked a lot about Christianity, our image of Christianity as a Japanese and why some Japanese women began to believe Christianity and devoted their lives to the teachings. We tried to talk more than Jonathan at Plum’s suggestion. We will have another meeting on 21th of September ( next Friday ). If you have a time , please attend the class and talk about Christianity more deeply.
Well, thanks to Cherry’s blog, we have had more mutual understanding and have had familiar close feeling. Thank you, Cherry! The blog has brought us brilliant achievements in this summer, in spite of such hrsh heat.
Bye, see you!.
