Was afraid of that. It's best to be there for the person until they can see what they may need to work on, and be a friend in the low times until then.

Here is a good story, just happened yesterday.

At my English school, we take the students out to the park often.
Yesterday, when one of our girl students was playing frisbee with our
American teacher, two higschool girls passed by and said
"This is not a place for foreigners." or something like that.
Then our student, got mad! She said how rude they were!
You know? our student is only 6 years old! and the high school girl maybe 15 or 16!

She asked me to go to the silly girls to tell them "You are bad girls!"

I was so moved you know?
Oh, my students are learning something "right"!
Even our students are not fluent in English, cos they go to reguler school everyday and come to our school only once or twice a week for 90 mins,
but they are learning something really important!

They think our American teacher is one of our best friends!
He isn't gaijin but our friend!

I love my students and I am so pround of them.

See? There IS a very good Japanese girl !
(oops but at the same time I told you about 2 rude Japanese girls.)

Indeed, but it's *very* good to see the next generation coming can still recognize ignorant behaviour when it appears, see how undesirable it is, and how to react to it.

Yes, he was a nice guy...

It's weekend and I don't have to get up early in the morning so let me write about this guy.

<<warning>>You don't have to read this, cos it's gonna be long and boring...

I'm still going to read it, because I like stories!

I would marry him, if he could be honest to tell me that he loved me before I decided to leave Melbourne for Sydney.We were both 25.
I have a romantic but sad love story...

We were "too good" friends and afraid to tell each other that we wanted to
be more than friends...
I found out that he missed me really bad after I left Melbourne.
I couldn't go back to him, cos I had a college to go to in Sydney.
It was all too late.

Later I met a guy and was living together.We went back to Japan together.

But accidentaly I met that guy when I visited in Melbourne for a month.(I didn't plan it)

We couldn't finish talking cos we hadn't met for over 2 or 3 years.
After having dinner, he was walking me to the railway station,
He said "Don't go back to Japan. Stay."
I didn't know what to say.
I sait to him "I wanted, but your country didn't give me a visa to stay forever" I said it as a joke, I actually never try to get the parmanent visa.
He didn't say anything for a long time.

I changed the subject.
"You should stop smoking and drink less for your health, I am worried."

and he said,
"I will, if you stay"

I was so sad...

Simply beautiful. Just like a drama show on television...

I knew that that was the best he could say to me, he wasn't good at dealing with girls, he was more like a guy having a lot of guys friends and very popular among them but not girls.

you know, if you are a shy guy just like him,
but you have to tell the girl if you really like her.

I was, but for different reasons. After meeting two women who have done a lot for me, I'm not shy anymore.

I might have stayed, if he said something more.

We met a few times until the day I was leaving Melbourne for Japan.
The last day, we took a train together, he had to get off (for work) before me... he hugged me for a long long time even there were many people on that train.He have never done that such things before, he was too shy.
He knew and I knew too, it was going to be the very last time for us to meet.
and we were right.

But the memories each of you hold in your hearts will always be there. A source of strength in the dark times.

Yes, you are right. I actually said " naruhodo, so dayone!" to my computer!
I never though that way. Yes,he might have had a dream and "scary me" in there!
Actually his face wasn't scary to me at all, it looked more like a some kind of comedian to make people laugh, so even I met him in my dream, I wouldn't be scared, but for him! He had to see my most scary face ever! I don't think he can forget it for a long long time, oh what a poor man.

*laughs* Success!

We use degree Celsius too.
When we have over 25 degree at night,
we call that night "nettaiya".

It's nettaiya tonight!

It's nettaiya here as well, then

I meant it.
You saved me.
Your message saved me from upsetting feelings.
The old man didn't show up in my dream.

To defend one's friends from that which means them harm is one of the duties of a true warrior.

Oopsie,
It's 2:15 am and I should go back to work!
(I have a very important email to finish and send!)

Have a lovely weekend!

I shall.
