??24 years and keep counting...

?A wise Japanese observed about foreigners: "After a week in Japan, they are ready to write a book. After a month, they are ready to write an article. After a year, they are too confused by the facts to write anything at all."

I have been in the Japanese Archipelago since 1982...I should stop to write about Japan just here. Nevertheless, believe me, I could write down a Nipponica Encyclopaedia if I only could find a good and patiente sponsor....(-;

The Land of the Setting Sun

Fire

Both rising and setting sun are magnificent in Japan. But ,alas, i've been in many places where the sun rising and the sun settting are magnificent. Ok now I understand, the issue is not the land where you catch those, once in the life, artistic impressions:" It is the sun, idiot!!! "!

Pros and Cons

Exactly 2 hours and 5 minutes, complete with tearful speeches (confessions). You mean like the Kayo Suspense Gekijo?!?!

Yes, older indeed. Wiser perhaps? Not necessarily... One thing is sure - life is about to change. I hope we can handle it!

M-Chan asks SO little: extract the tiller of the land for a mere fisher man. Huh. Let me see if I can convince him to learn to fish, okay? I think he can multi-task! (-=
