Japanese gentlemen : Yoko Yamasaki Hello everyone, this is Yoko. It is good to know the system troubles of the U.S. participants were solved, and all of the registered participants have started to exchange messages successfully. All of Japanese participants are citizens of Sendai, and able to see each other at the meeting twice a month. Based on the information sent by U.S. participants, Mr. Hiraizumi, (Hira-san), provided us a matrix table on which their names, nick names, living-locations and hobbies are summarized, and American maps with their living-locations marked-up. So, we get easily understand who lives where in the U.S. I have had an opinion that American gentlemen are generally more considerate and kind than Japanese gentlemen, but this time Hira-san's kindness changed my opinion. Are the U.S. young men in their twenties and thirties as kind and gentle as the older generations are ? The recent Japanese young men in their twenties and thirties seem to be generally more kind and gentle to their wives and women than elder men were. By the way, my hobbies are book reading and playing tennis. I am a lover of music, but since I started playing tennis at my forties, it has gotten difficult to find a time for music. This year, I was qualified as a senior (50 years old). I plan to put on years cheerfully and positively like Fran, Jane, Jean, Bernie, and other seniors in the U.S. Well, have a good day !!! Yoko. | |
