## 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.

## Experience of Buying and Selling Cars in the US

Last night, for some reason, I remembered various interesting experiences related to cars in the US and decided to write them down.

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.

## Mexico, Chingon

Mexicans are kind and fun. 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.

## Eating beans

Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine make up most of our meals. 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.

## Racial discrimination = program

I was thinking in the US.

I originally didn't have the program for racial discrimination. Whether white, black, or Asian... well, they're all just 'gaijin' to me, period.

## From Boston Airport to Charles de Gaulle Airport

From the West Coast to the East Coast of America, I would take Japanese clients, and finally to Europe. My mission was to visit European and American users who had implemented new systems, with Japanese clients in tow, for corporate projects.

## Only Side-Step Melancholy (US)

Lately, I've been thinking that, just like in sports, you don't move forward by only taking side steps.

It was good that people generally had the opportunity to learn about gender diversity and think, "Ah, so there are those kinds of perspectives too."

(The photo is of the center of CATANIA, Sicily. When you are with a baby, uncles and aunts dote on you immensely, without asking, lol. They touch the baby's face without hesitation. This wasn't the case in America. They are very kind people.)

## A culture of

I once asked in Italy, "Why do Italians tell you to eat a lot?"

Why did I ask? The reason is, seriously, matter whose house I went to, whether it was relatives or friends, everyone would say "Mangia mangia (Eat, eat)".

## Class Observation (First Time)

I remember. I remember myself.

Not understanding the language, the surroundings becoming a swirling vortex of scenery. With escape, I faced the unknown that was about to begin.

A school in a foreign land. I remember the feeling of sitting in a classroom with idea what was going on.

## Laughing in retrospect (Story about Italian Yakuza)

This morning, I laughed in retrospect.

A while ago in Italy, a friend asked me: "In Japan, the 893 (Yakuza) in manga usually have scars on their cheeks or missing fingers, but what are they like in Italy?"

My friend replied, "Hmm, let me see... they usually limp."

## Elements that create "freedom" other than money

Some people say you can buy freedom with money. Some people enjoy making money. I think that's fine. But the idea that you can't be free without money feels strange.

What are you going to do with money?
