Politice and Reflections

If I were working for the UN, I would like to work as an interpreter.
Since many countries get together and discuss, an interpreter demands a fluent interpreter an official languages of three at least.
They are need a meeting of all of the UN.
Mainly, they translate into society, government, technique, finamcial affairs and a decision.
If I worked as an interpreter in UN, I might work to useing my English ability.
But I know I need study English more harder....
Finally, I can know about everything of the UN and give a little tractiion in the UN I think.

Working with different cultures

If I worked another country, I would work in the United States.

America and Japanese companies have different business cultures.
especially, people who working service industries just keeps on increasing. Compared with in Japan, personal effort is taken in the United States.
So, I want to working as career woman there and be success.

How do you greet people in your life?

There is the method of various greetings by countries. We shake hands and embrance each other and the kiss is a kind of greetings, too. Japanese greetings express by bow. When I respect a partner, I change the angle of the waist when partner is older than me. I think that this symbolizes Japanese humility.

How is our daily life affected by Buddhism

1. On a tray, we go for a visit to a grave. By the visit to a grave, we worship it from a green deep person to the deceased sequentially. Because the sun set in the due west in the Vernal Equinox Day, it was thought that I was western with the day when the said Buddhists’ paradise and world crossed. We came to do a visit to a grave to hold a service for an ancestral soul in this time. The reason is because it is said that a heart is easy to go the Buddhists paradise most.
2. On the equinoctial week of the spring when the flower of the peony blooms, we eat a rice dumpling covered with red bean paste. On the other hands, on the autumn equinoctial week when a flower of a common reed blooms, we eat a rice dumpling covered with bean jam.
3. When we eat meal, we must not prick the rice with chopsticks. Originally, because prick to rice when a person died.
4. The twelve horary signs to express the sexagenary cycle are used for the current time and the indication of the direction.
5. When I cook rice, we offer it for the deceased at the altar. I think this is a small token of our gratitude.
