Today I have been to Niihama city, about a one hour's drive away from here. I joined the talk show of a Korean movie star, Mr. Lee Kyung Won （李京源）. It's the first time for me to attend such a meeting. He performed as a supporting actor in the historical TV drama, "Daejanggum （大長今）," with Korean dishes and a medical theme. He told us untold stories behind the drama. It was interesting. To my utter surprise, he spoke to us in fluent Japanese. I was impressed that the acquisition of another language enriches life culturally and spiritually. I'd made up my mind again to learn Korean, German, and English. And if I can, I'd like to learn French, Spanish, and Swahili. It must be wonderful to communicate with those languages. After my early retirement, I really want to enjoy wandering all over the world.
