Living Barefoot |
|
I think itfs not good
living barefoot and here are some of
the
reasons why I think so. When I was
a boy,
I liked to play barefoot, but only
just in
the sandpit or on the lawn. If you
walked
on some road you will get some problem.
For
instance, you might stand on a piece
of glass
and get injured. Sometimes strangers
might
stare you. And on a day when it snows
you
canft go outside without shoes! Finally,
Ifm fashion-conscious. I regard barefoot
as not fashionable, so I am against
it.

Donft you live in Antarctica?
|
|
| If you are asked by someone gDo you want
to live in Antarctica?h, what do think you
would answer? I would say I donft want to
live in Antarctica. Here are three reasons
why I think so. First, there are no fresh
vegetables. I canft imagine life without
tomatoes. Second, it is colder there than
Hokkaido. I have lived in Sapporo for one
year, but I still havenft got used to life
with snow. Finally, I like to see greenery
and lawns, though there are only ice deserts
there. However I might try to live in Antarctica
once. I think if we donft experience the
lifestyle, we will never know the merits
and demerits. |

Camp with my Family |
|
|
I donft remember completely, but maybe from
when I was 10 years old, my two
brothers
and I, went somewhere with our
parents in
summer every year. The first
time, we just
went to the neighboring town.
It was very
close to our town, but we could
see the natural greenery around there. I didnft
like camping then because of
the silence
there, as if nothing were alive.
When the
campers next to us left, I really
missed
them, even though I didnft know
them. Time
went by and when I was 15 years
old, we went
to Hokkaido. My opinion changed
slightly.
I got to like nature a little.
I could escape
from the botheration of human
life, and I
began to think it is important
to live another
way.

The Things Older People can Do |
|
|
Older people donft have physical strength, but they have some
knowledge. In other words, they can be teach
us about life. They know what has happened
in the past, and can tell us about this from
their point of view. This is just one thing.
They can also be good baby-sitters. The elderly
know a lot about life because they have had
many experiences. However kids donft know much. So their talk must give some
advice for kids to live by.

Onsen problem |
|
|
I think the plaintiffs will win their lawsuit.
If you like something, you will
pay for it.
This behavior is actually natural.
Many shops
do their best in order to sell
things, even
though they do not to have to.
Service is
also one of these. I know the
owner of the
Onsen has the right to reject
people who
donft keep manners, but it is
wrong to think
all foreigners donft behave
in a good way.
This is discrimination.
I heard someone defecated in the bath. He
was not foreigner, he was Japanese. Why are
only Japanese forgiven for their mistakes?
All people can learn something. The best
idea is for foreigners to learn by themselves
how to take a bath. But how do they learn?
I think the employees of the Onsen should
help them. There must be many methods. |
