Thank you mr_Love.
I enjoy lerning English and this web site.

The cherry blossoms are in full bloom in Japan.
All Japanese like them.
The Japanese enjoy this time of the year with "hanami" (cherry blossom viewing) parties under the cherry trees with picnics, drinking and singing.
It's really fun.

Hi tikay. I'm happy to meet you.
I'm sorry I don't know him from Chiba.
I live in Shimane.
It's located in the north of Hiroshima.
As you say many Japanese visit Hawaii every year.
There are many beautiful tropical beaches In Hawaii.
Japanese love them.
My wife's friend travels to Hawaii every two years.
I and my wife have never been to Hawaii.
We hope we will go there some day in the near future.
if we go to Hawaii,please tell us your favorite spots.
Oh,we have to work harder and save money :wink:

See you.

Thanks metaltoy...but dont work harder...I will guess you are already working hard! How about I will chant for you to gain financial benefits without working harder and let us see if the experiment works....I am investivating the Nichirin Daishonin theories of Chanting wholeheartedly to the Gohanzan...and it seems to be doing something great for me.
NAM MYOHO RENGE KYO
I just had a mistake " magically dissappear" from my credit record. I was mistakenly being charged for child support to my children but the bills kept coming and no one would repair the damage until it got up to 65,000.00 dollars on my records.
Now all of a sudden I called them to fight for my rights, once more and the woman told me the debt was erased.
I chanted faithfully and it is taken care of.
Just one example of getting what we ask for.
Buddhism is not for everyone but I get amazing results for my acts of faith and innocense in the Buddhist traditions.
I will one day get to travel and Japan is at the tippy top of my lists. I love the spas there and the tranquility of the heart of most of your people. I once had many Japanise friends in the Hawaiian islands.
I once had a furo outside in my garden....it was rustic but it worked, the wooden tub had rotted away...for many years time, but we used a large steel bucket to soak and bathe, all around this house was nothing but nature and the view included a huge cluster of bamboo when you faced the ocean...
I also have great admiration for your Kimono and Kabuki,& the traditional arts there.

Tell your lovely wife please. I hope you have a wonderful day!

Happy Hanami Time ! Enjoy those Beautiful cherry blossoms and the springtime fun!

Thanks for your reply,tikay.

You seem to know Japanese culture and Buddhism well.

There are many good spas in Japan.
I sometimes go to a spa near our apartment with my family.
We love spas as well as you.

Do you want to know about my wife?
She is a good cook ,a good mother and a good wife.
She makes me happy.
Although we sometimes have a fight,we usually get on well.

I am a woman with a very un-typical family...you can read about me more by going to my profile and see my posts I have just been answering many questions On the chair of investigations....you may also read over there...I talk too much!
My writing may or may not be improving because I spend too much time in chatting lately. I came here to help people learn English because i need to repair my Karma...and this is just one of my causes before moving into bigger causes. My goals are expansive , My family is very wonderful. My sons are grown and my daughter is just at her beginning.
This is where my pleasures come form most. I love them so deeplt...thank goodness for these children. they have made my life worthwhile. Men have come and go in my life...this has been very difficult for me who wanted better for my family.
I have had many terrible experiences and many gorgeous and wonderful ones!... even spiritual visions...have become a normal part of my world.
I hope you will have the most precious life! Give your attentions to your family and to love, and I am sure you will reach all your dreams. I am reaching mine.
I have just finished earning a degree in law, as a paralegal...i hope to work for good people who need help, in civil rights...we shall see where i belong very soon the gods will place me in the right area to be hired...I am having the flu still...not well. :cry:
bye for now.

I hope you will get better soon , tikay.
And congratulations on your earning a degree in law.

I also have one boy and one girl.
He turns 4 years old in Aug,and she turns 1 year old in Jun.
Recently he is getting active.
He sometimes catches bugs and shows me them.
I don't like them very much.

I and my wife saw my daughter stands for 5 seconds last Monday.
It was our first time to see that.

We are glad of seeing our children growth.

We hope your dreams come true.

Take care.
