Character is the most important for me. Especially, I like kind person.

I like handsome guy.

Love and money are both important. If he has enough money, he can't feed our family.

1. How do you greet members of your family? (mother, father, older brother, younger brother, grandparents, etc.)
If I greet my family, I just say "Good morning." and "Good night". Sometimes I don't say but I touch them to talking.

2. How do you greet people that are important in society?
For me, important person in my society is teachers. We greet them say "Good morning.", "Hallo.", "Good evening." but I pay my respect to them.

3. Do you greet people from the opposite sex in a different way?
Sometimes I may greet different because I love or hate him. I think I also change my attitude.

4. Do you hug anyone? If yes, who and when. If no, why not?
No.

Because that is not usual greeting style in Japan.

How do you greet people in your life?
I have two main greeting patterns.
1, When we have never before, we introduce ourselves to each other. For example, name, work, living place and age, etc. These are rambling information because I don’t know what kind of people you are. I am interested in someone to talk to me but I can’t open my mind yet. I do a formal greeting and say “Nice to meet you”.

2, When we are friend, we talk a lot. We already know each other than we met first time. Even if I talk a few words, my friends guess and they also say some. I greet them just "Hi" and I raise my hand.

Is it different for different people? How so and why?
It is different for different people because this is different of our cultures. When I went England, I shook hands with my home stay family in the first time. Then, I knew there were many body touches in another country. I live in Japan so I hesitated body touch in those days. However, I like this greeting because I have an attachment to people.

Do you touch people when you talk to them? Why or Why not?
When I talk to people, I don’t touch them because I live in Japan. If I touch a lot, I think she or he is too familiar with me. I feel unpleasant. In Japan, there is good proverb. "There is propriety also in intimate relations." It is too important for us to go around with everybody.

Buddism○o。..:*・(uωu人)・*:..。o○

Today, I talked about "Buddism".

1, Greeting about Eating
I say "Itadakimasu" and "Gochisousama" every day when I eat meal. This is natural thing for me because I have been doing these greeting from I was a child. I knew what "Itadakimasu" mean because I heard in my school trip place, "Kouyasan(高野山)". Every kitchen stuff give us their lives so I have to say "Itadakimasu" to eat their lives. After eating, I say "Gochisousama" to thanks for my delicious eating.

2, Coming of Age Day(成人式)
This is a festival which celebrate 20 years people. This origin was "Seinensai" in Saitama on 1946. "Seinensai" was made for young boys to give dream and wish for their bright future. In those days, in Saitama, that event were did shortly after war. Recently, girls wear "Kimono" and boys wear "suit" or "Hakama". Then, they hear mayor's speech and meet their friends. That atmosphere is changing year after year but that wish does NOT change, I think.

3, The Anniversary of one's Death(命日)
This is a day of one's death. In Japan, this day calls "Meinichi". This point to "Syoutsuki-Meinichi" when is one year after die. We offer incense sticks and visit a grave. Then we talk to the deceased and wish going to paradise chantting a prayer to the Buddha using "zyuzu"


4, Hatsumoude(初詣)
We visit to a shrine on New Year's Day. We have wishes, "ourincluding those for safe driving", "business success", "good health" and "great love" for one year. And we drink "omiki(御神酒)" which is sake offered to the shrine. After that, we buy a variety of "charms", "Hamaya(破魔矢)" and draw a "fortune slips" and write "ema(絵馬)". Then, if we have last year's "charms" and "Hamaya", we should back them to shrine.

5, Shichi-Go-San(七五三)
This is a festival for the boy who is 5 year old and the girl who is 3 and 7 years old. Their family celebrate their children's health and pray the saving grace of God in every November 15th. A long time ago, on November 15th was said "The day when demon doesn't walk and everything can doing good". And "November" was said "The month of thanks for God to see in the harvest season". The children who are 7, 5 and 3 years old wear Japanese clothes and make up in the first time. When they are celebrating, they eat special candy named "Chitose-ame(千歳飴)". This candy name means "one thousand years old candy". This mean has a wish from their parents to children's long lives.

●Virginia Tech massacre●
On April 16th 2007, one Korean student killed another people by 2 guns. It was happened in the Virginia Tech University. The inducement was hatred for society and he might have had the mental illness. He bought guns using his identification card. In those days, the police found receipt in his bag. He killed 32 people and he also shoot himself with guns.
The USA is called weapon society. In Virginia state, it is possible for over 18 years people to buy gun without license. If they have license, they can buy over 2 guns every month. In addition, over 12 years people can buy shotgun and rifle to hunt.
In Japan, there is a low for guns so people can live very safety.


This news made me shock and I thought in the USA also should have more strict gun control. I have lived in Japan and I think Japan is one of the very safety country.
