You might wonder why I was moved to read an e-mail even now, but I really felt that the internet was wonderful. I got an e-mail from my second daughter, Yuri, who is staying in Auckland now during her college vacation. The Rugby World Cup is held in New Zealand now and she is asking me what I want concerning the rugby games. I asked her to get a towel or something which has the World Cup logo. The game between Japan and France will be tomorrow. My desire will be passed on to her in time. Though she is in the southern half of the globe, she looks like she's living in the neighbourhood. The e-mail system is thoroughly useful.
I have two brothers; one is also a surgeon, who specializes in orthopedics, and the other is a journalist working for the local newspaper company. We are planning to have a party celebrating the ages of 80 years of both parents on September 18th. The Chinese letters for 80 resembles an umbrella, so this celebration is called "Sanju", meaning a happy umbrella. My brothers are spending hectic days and it's not easy to get in touch with them and we use e-mails for preparation.
The e-mail is getting essential to my life.
