子供とあいうえお

We had been in Japan for about 1 year plus. We don't expect to speak a fluent japanese, but not even able to speak a full sentence of it. What a waste...... Indeed we did not really put much effort in it. Don't have TV at home, so those japanese words we picked up are from "train station -densa (train), mamonaku (soon), yi ban san (platform no 1...),", "supermarket -'sakana (fish)...  etc. The most we used "sumimasen" (excuse me) and arigato (Thank you). Soon we will leave Japan, what else we will have for this hiragana and katagana words.

Ethan : "Mummy, japanese words are very funny. It have a lot of drawing plus the chinese words. Those words drawing words are easier to write then the chinese words!"

 

Probably the Japanase words will not stay long in your heart, but these 2 years we spent together in Japan will surely dwell in your heart forever. Those are the precious time for daddy and mummy can be with you all to wondering the world that God created for us. Meet the different people, different culture, different weather and we have the little Egracia (Atsu 悦 ) born in the nihon-land.

Thanks God for keeping our life in this rattling land. Dear Lord, please keep and hold the people in this land from the natural disaster. The gospel will be with them too.
