hi.. richard~~!!!
how are you doing?
i'm a little bit worried about you because i haven't heard from you for
long
time...
is everything all right with you?
i hope that you are just too busy to write me.. and nothing happened...
can you feel spring in the air there?
here in korea.. the warm weather is coming quite slowly than last
year..
usually.. this time of year... we can see cherryblossoms all around the
street..
but not yet.. this year...
today.. while i was passing the street.. there was a small store which
sells
herbpots..
so.. i bought a rosemary pot..
i put it near my desk.. and smells so good.. especially.. when the
breeze
blows.. through the window...
have you ever seen chinese people demonstrating against japan on the
news..?
although it is not that severe.. but in korea the same thing happens...
i heard that why chinese people are mad about japanese government was
that
the content of the history textbook has changed..
japanese government tried to justify what they did while they colonized
china and korea during the second world war.. in their new history
textbook..
just like chinese people.. people in korea are angry about distortion
of the
history...
but generally.. anti-japanese feelings have been arising as a
provincial
council in japan pushed to designate "Takeshima Day" about a month
ago...
takeshima is a japanese name for DOKDO.. which is the islets located in
the
very east of korean peninsula.. the islets have been our territory more
than
thousand years..
but during the world war.. japanese government tried to make the islets
as
their territory officially.. because japanese fishermen strongly wanted
to
fish near the islets.. (the area where the islets are located is one of the
best
reservoir of huge amount of fish... as i learned to know from the
news..)
anyhow.. people here are upset about what japanese government did.. and
said
recently...
are there any controversial issues in vancouver now?
i'm curious on what theme you are working on these days...
is it another sarcasm of commercial advertisemnt?
keep in touch.. and let me know how you are..
miss you all the time...
bye..
