Tell us about your trip to Japan
In about 1999 I met a young man from Japan that needed to rent a room and lucky for me I had one to rent….. so that is how my visits (3) to Japan started. He invited me to a Christmas party that his work was having and toward the end he won 2 round trip tickets to Japan, and again, lucky me, he asked would I like to go??? Â
That was in 1999. I stayed with his family, met his grandmother, brothers, and got to really appreciate the lifestyle and some important customs, and a few words…. It is a very difficult language for an American born person. Then I went back 2 more times for the weddings of his 2 brothers.
