Selfish tour guide vs unselfish ryokan-manager
In early spring of 1995, I went to Japan on a package tour. It was my first trip to the neighboring country, from which our nation was liberated from occupation in 1945. I had multiple, mixed emotions about the country of my childhood, although I was thrilled at the prospect of looking around the country. Our destination was Beppu, a geothermal city in Kyushu.

A mother of boys
A mother of boys
You might have come across the following remarks if you are a mother of boys. “You must be physically exhausted,” “you need to be strong to control two energetic creatures” and “you will probably want a daughter at some point.” As a mother of two boys, I continuously and actually, unwillingly have this conversation with others once I say I am a mother of boys. A growing numbe...

The enduring theme of revenge
The enduring theme of revenge
From the last several weeks up to now, Netflix's Korean drama “The Glory” has been very popular. I heard about it, so I searched for it on my smartphone. I clicked one video clip of that drama inadvertently on the video sharing platform YouTube with no idea what I would be drawn into. It was not intentional, it was totally inadvertent behavior for me.
