Dear Eden, It's nice to meet you too! I appreciate to your help and thank you for giving me authentic alternatives. I hope you have a great week. Best regards, m-yoshiro
Thank you very much for checking my essay. I envy you! Vietnam is only country that I have been in countries you are planing to travel. I hope your travel is good and safe:)
Thank you for your wonderful suggestions. They are so helpful for me.
Dear Eden, As always, your advice is very fruitful. I am surprised that you and your wife will stay in three countries for just one or two months. I have not been overseas for four yeas, so I am green with envy! Have a wonderful trip! Mashroom
Thank you for teaching and appreciating my writing, Eden! I think "Stick to the present moment" is the core of Buddhism. I know that in theory at least, but how difficult to put it into practice! I also need to get out of my old habit. See you next time! Yuichi
It was really helpful for me. Thank you!
Thank you for your quick response. I’ll read it cautiously.
Thank you for your explanations and suggestions. I learned a lot of new things from your advanced expressions. I look forward to taking your lesson again.
Thank you for teaching, Eden! As you say, politeness is a good aspect of Japanese people. Holding back opinions is a good thing in some situations, but it's not always a good thing. This is a little complicated problem,,, See you next time!
Thank you for teaching, Eden! I'm good. How about you? Really? I wasn't aware Ukrainian people have been doing such a thing! It's absolutely terrifying! I wonder when this war is going to end. I came to think Putin as if Hitler or Stalin! I'll write this subject one of these days! See you next time! Yuichi
Eden I want to mention about my writing. (No.748277) I wrote, "In the middle of all this, there was a great person who deserved respect." What I wanted to say in this sentence was, "In such a challenging situation, I found a gracious person (to whom I want to show my respect)" Does this sentence make sense? Anyway, I apologize my writing was unclear. (I use an English dictionary made by Japanese people, so there are sometimes strange expressions!) Yuichi
Thank you for teaching, Eden! I think industrialization affects even human minds. Perhaps people in Pakistan haven't been polluted yet. That's why they are so kind! I wish I could live surrounded by such people! See you next time!
Thank you for teaching and sharing your new plans, Eden! First, I'm surprised to hear that you will stay Christchurch, because that's exactly where I secretly dream to visit some day! I don't trust newspaper and TV news, either. But still it's surprising that they were lying about Pakistan and Osama bin Ladin. I distinctly remember that President Obama triumphantly announced, "We killed Osama bin Ladin. Justice has been done." More than ten years have passed since then, but it appears that a lot of things are concealed behind our back! See you next time! Yuichi
Thank you for teaching, Eden! Oh, I heard it for the first time but that title sounds interesting. It seems to be a book which put together "winnie-the-pooh" and Taoism, right? I've read Lao-tze in ancient Chinese before (it was quite difficult,,,) "The Tao of Pooh?" probably explains Taoism clearly and simply. If so, I want to try it. By the way, the core of Taoism is exactly "Everything is as it is". I've always been curious that Buddhism and Taoism came to a similar (or perhaps the same) conclusion! See you next time! Yuichi
Thank you very much for your suggestions. I enjoy your trip blog :)
