## Harmony of Mexico

As soon as you cross the border, the rich scent of culture fills the air.

I used to commute to Baja Mexico every week, sometimes every day, crossing the border. The job wasn't very interesting, but I looked forward to enjoying Mexico every time I crossed by car.

## Effective use of Japanese disease

Wabyo is 'a mental disorder notably seen in Japanese people, where one becomes obsessed with invisible "harmony" (bonds, unity, solidarity, trust), perceives anything that disrupts it as evil, and loses the ability to think—resulting in a state of suspension of thought.'

In a word, it seems to be a unique form of peer pressure, but I believe each instance has its own underlying motive.

## Is the solution to English pronunciation "syi"?

Japanese sa shi su se so. Katakana sa shi su se so.

Katakana itself is a Japanese-unique script, so it's good to learn. However, I sometimes think that the 'restriction' of always using katakana for foreign words might not be that necessary anymore.

## Recommendation of "Jibun First"

My daughter says interesting things.   
"When I go out, I always look for people who resemble someone I know on the street. Like people from school or teachers. And I walk around thinking, 'This person really looks like XX-chan from XX class.' I see them quite often."   
"Wow, that's interesting!"   
"Yeah, but I've never seen anyone who looks like me."

## Seventh Anniversary

It's been about seven years since my close friend passed away. I'm honored to be invited to their family's seventh anniversary memorial service. I often feel these days that I'm always indebted to that family.

## White and Black Lies

The other day, I went to get my car's oil changed. While I was sitting in the waiting room, a young mechanic approached me. "Huh, did something happen?" I thought, and asked him what was going on.

"Um, the oil filler cap (where you pour the oil) is broken, and I can't proceed with the work unless we replace it."   
"Seriously?"

## Life Work vs. Money

I think I am happy. By chance, I discovered something that allows me to continue growing until I die. Art, before I knew it, became less about building outwards and more about my interest in the infinite within. I even feel 'hope' in the fact that matter how much I dig, I can't reach the bottom.

## The Concept of Infinity - Never Ending Story

Do you know this quiz? I think you can find it easily if you search online.

"A hotel where an infinite number of guests can stay is said to be full. How can one more person be accommodated?"   
Difficult to understand. Infinite yet crowded.

## Reason for challenging Idea University

There is a city called Biella between Milan and Turin in Italy, and there is an institution called Idea University there. Diverse programs are always held there, and intellectuals from all over the world gather to work on workshops, conferences, creative activities, etc. I participated in the Idea University program in 2016.

## Shifting Blame to Foreigners Residing in Japan

In any country, there are good people and evil people; this is true for Japanese and non-Japanese alike, it's about individuals. If there are problems, please discuss and resolve them as individuals under laws and systems, seriously. I see people who blame foreigners residing in the country when the country's internal affairs are not going well, and it's truly disgusting.

## Let Your Angelina win (Conversation with children)

My daughter is interested in various things every day. Sometimes she gets distracted and forgets things. She gets carried away with friends and forgets her meeting place with Momma, and gets scolded.   
I think various adventures are starting within you.
