In the US, cars are essential for daily life. If they had expensive inspections like in Japan, everyone's life would stop. The regulations for maintenance are lax, and many old cars are on the road. Once on the highway, I saw a classic Beetle driving with its rear engine engulfed in flames. It was like Mad Max, the end of the century, lol.

That's why I strive to be able to do everything myself. I'm going to write about a time when I might have become interested in politics. --- It seems the government is targeting the younger generation. Do they want to squeeze more taxes out of them, use them as soldiers in case of emergency, or have them take care of the elderly? Is the right to vote just a bonus? That's what I think. This is because when I lived in the US, I saw a young soldier on TV (in Iraq) say, 'In our country, we're prohibited from drinking alcohol and smoking until we're 18, but we're told to kill people.' The pressure of contradiction, the earnest voice of youth.

Above all, the food is delicious. Their human quality is high. The culture is also interesting; although Spain conquered them, the unique culture of the indigenous people remained and blended. For example, when you go to the hospital, they apparently prescribe local traditional medicines, like 'Chinese herbal medicine,' within the context of Western medicine.

There was YouTube back then, so I'd buy DVDs at local shops and watch them so many times that the gloss would wear off, haha.

My best friend died in Japan a while ago. I lived my life with the program, 'You are a low-quality product. Therefore, at least devote yourself to others and your family.' (I had choice in this program). One of the reasons for challenging myself overseas and as an artist was a 'trump card' recovery strategy. At the time, the boat my family and relatives were on was sinking economically and relationally. Even scooping water out of the boat couldn't stop the sinking. So, I came up with this 'trump card' strategy as a last resort to do something for my family. 'Death', Die!

Big Thanks to my wife. There are various dishes, but many use beans. Lentils, chickpeas, cannellini beans, and so on (there are more). Cooking methods include paste, sauté, and more. Recently, I'm very grateful that I can buy quite obscure ingredients online.

As I get involved with student sports and interact with university students, job hunting is a major milestone in their lives. Some people even ask me for advice, are they okay? lol Their job hunting process is tough, filling out various application forms, summarizing their motivations, and getting them proofread. There are even interview tips on YouTube, and apparently some people refer to those. Receiving job hunting advice?!
