My Precious Memory
|
| Chihiro YOKOYAMA |
This project told me a lot of important
things. To start with, through I had make friend with many foreigners
I could broaden my horizons for the world. Above all, I was realized
"The beauty of Japan." We told about not only the heritage but also
custom and culture about Japan, because most of attendance didn't
know about Japan. It doesn't mean that they were not interested
in Japanese culture and customs. In Austria, Japan is famous for
technologies and animations. But a few traditional side of Japan
were known. So, I feel strange.
A lot of people were charmed with Japanese culture which I hadn't
conscious -for example Japanese (especially Syuji which is how to
write Japanese by using Sumi and Fude) , Kimonos, manners and so
on.
There is a saying which was gripped my heart. When I told my host
sister "Some of Japanese hanker color of hairs and eyes like you.
So there are many Japanese who dye their hair gold, brown, and wearing
color contact lenses." Then, she said "Stupid! I think your hair
and eyes are so beautiful."
Japanese culture and customs what I told were only surface. But
it was enough for me to realize that how wonderful Japanese things
are! And my host sister's words taught me, "Beauty and Pride of
Japan". And it's wonderful that we have very different culture each
other in this world.
One more, I learned that English is merely a means for communication.
Surely, English is very useful language because English enable communication
wits a lot of other country's people. But I think more important
thing is to understand my country, foreign country and international
affairs. In addition to that, we should have our own opinions.
If we don't know about our country's culture, the things we can
tell about ourselves become less.
I'll never forget my great experiences of Graz. I'd like to get
more knowledge and interest in a lot of things and the world as
a member of Japanese. Then I'm going to grow up myself.
Thank you very much.
