仕事での日本訪問は今回で4回目だが,プライベートの訪問を加えると5回目となる。おかげで日本には慣れてきた

拙い日本語で先生と会話するのは相変わらず。にもかかわらず今回は先生と日本の経済発展や貧困,幸福について話をした

拙い日本語で会話するにはとてもヘビーな内容である。しかし,私はどうしても彼らと貧困や幸福について話をしたかった。何故なら日本に来て,日本の街を見る度に必ず幸福について考えさせられるからだ。

This is the 4th time I am visiting Japan on business but if you count my private trip, this will be the 5th time. As such, I have become used to Japan.

Despite my poor Japanese, I was able to speak to Sensei as usual this time about Japan's economic development, poverty and happiness.

Even though I am not proficient in Japanese, we had a conversation with serious themes. Nonetheless, I wanted to talk to them about poverty and happiness because I am somehow inspired to think about happiness every time I see the streets of Japan during my trips.

This is my 5th visit to Japan including one private visit. So I understand a little bit about Japanese custom.

My Japanese is not so good actually, but during this visit I could discuss with my teachers for a lot of subjects including development of Japanese economy, poverty on the other side or conception about happiness.

Although my Japanese skill is not good enough to talk about these items, I strongly wanted to discuss with them.
Because every time I visit to Japan and walk around city, "what is the happiness all about" is come up to my mind.

This is my fourth time visiting Japan for work and it would be my fifth if I added the time I visited personally as well. I think I have been used to Japan already.

I still talk to my teachers in my poor Japanese. But even so, this time we talked about from Japan’s economic development to its poverty and happiness.

It is apparently a bit too heavy topic talking about in broken Japanese but I truly wanted to discuss poverty and happiness with them. It is because whenever I’m in Japan and look at the cities in Japan I get reminded to think about what happiness really is.

日本にいると「貧困」について深く考えることはない。「幸福」も衣食が足りている前提で考える。しかし新興国に来るとこの前提は破壊され「幸福」とは何か根源から考えさせられる

日本語の先生たちは日本の中では高い教育を受けてきた人達だ。しかし,彼らの知識は驚くほど少なく,だが知識に対する情熱は他の先進国のそれよりも遥かに高い

だから彼らともっと深く話したかったが,その語学力が私には足りない

次の日本語研修までのモチベーションは,彼らと幸福について深く議論できるまでの語学力を身につけることだ

When I am in Japan, I seldom think about 'poverty' deeply. We think about "happiness" based on sufficient food and clothes. But when I come to newly developing countries, those basis are destroyed and think about "happiness" from the beginning.

Teachers of Japanese languages obtained higher education in Japan. But their knowledge is surprisingly limited, but their passion to knowledge is much higher than other developed countries.

Thus I wanted to talk more deeply with them but I am lack in language skill.

My motivation till next Japanese training, to obtain enough language skill to be able to discuss deeply with them about happiness.

Living in Japan, I don't have occasion to think about "poverty" so deeply. "Happiness" if also perceived on condition that a person has sufficient clothing and food. However, coming to an emerging countries, this condition gets desroyed and it makes me think what truely "happiness" is fundamentally.

Japanese teachers have received high education in Japan. But their knowledge is incredibly limited, yet their passion for knowledge is much higher than that of developed countries.

This was the reason I wanted to talk to them but my language was too limited.

My motivation until next Japanese study trip is to acquire as much language as possible so I can have a deep discussion with them about "happiness".

When I am in Japan, I hardly think about poverty and would think of happiness under the premise of being well-clothed and fed. However, when I come to developing countries, this premise does not apply and I start to think about what happiness should be based on.

The Japanese teachers are among those who have been highly-educated. Although their knowledge is surprisingly limited, their passion for knowledge is way stronger than those from other developed countries.

As such, I wanted to engage in deeper conversations with them despite my poor language ability.

My motivation before the next Japanese language training will be to build up my language skills so that I can have a deep discussion with them about happiness.
