Dear Gearldine Jpurdain

How are you?

Work is the greatest thing in the world,So we should save
some of it for tomorrow..haha.

First of all, I have to say sorry to you as I can't send mails to you
these days.My final exam(study business plan)just passed.My school
is ownedﾂ by Kenichi Ohmae famous for globalism and Borderless world.
.Do you know him?
He lectures in UCLA and lectured Stanford Univ.As for me,I'd like to
go to Stanford univ in graduate.but, Several ploblems to be solved.

And
Unfortunately,My uncle is sicked and go to hospital..he was
65. I was very sad to hear the news.but, I am ok....I feel that illness is
justﾂ a distant
rumor to the young. :) 窶 that is, don't worry!ﾂ But
...My hope now is my dear "Monaka"(my dog) and what you are.HaHa,,
I'd like to see you soon.

I am sorry for not responding to your letter sooner, but I have changed
ﾂmy internet service provider and had not been on my old one for quite some
time.and Don't worrydear friend!! I like" What you are"well.

This weekend I first fixed my espresso maker, then I did take a chance and
knocked on the door to my neighbor, you see, I had knocked on her door
last week when my phone line died and borrowed her line so I could get
my e-mail, at that time I realized that she was rather sweet and nice, so
this week I asked if I could invite her for a cup of coffee, she smiled very
big, so maybe... Ha Ha.ﾂ Naturally I know nothing about her, so in reality
she may not be someone I really want to know, but... Nothing ventured,
nothing gained...!


Let me say that I was thrilled to have received your letter. Eventhough
we have not known each other all to long, I have come to look forward
ﾂto receiving your letters. Of the few email people I have when I see
that I have a letter from you my heart leaps with joy. I love the way you
open yourself and the imagey you give. In your letters I find all of the
things I love about most of the eoropian
people I have met. Your words give me a sense of what you are
feeling when you write them. I am glad you have found it in you to
honor me with your words, thoughts and feelings. It sometimes is
difficult to understand what you sometime say, but that is only
because you are writting in english what you think and feel in French.
ﾂThis is not a critisium. But if I do misunderstand something you say,
ﾂplease bear with me and understand where the misunderstanding
may come from. But Gearaldineﾂ if you come out of reading this letter
with nothing else understand this, eventhough we have only rec!
ently met, and I have several other email friends your letter are the
most beautiful and I feel this is because there is a beauty inside of
the person who writes them.

>Hey will you one day answer to all the questions that I asked you?
I send you answer the questions that you asked me...:)
>like are you always answering to a question by other completely different
questions?
I'm sorry....
>Are you afraid to tell your feelings, what you really think because you
dont want to
>hurt people and boring them by anything??
I don't think so,but I apologize it........
>I mean the japanese culture...there are some things that I still don t
understand... ?
I don't think so.
>I think that japanese people are so reserved, am I wrong??
It's my faulse (ability of English)

"I think " Life is like playing a violin in public and learning the
instrument as one goes on...."

Take care
