From Luzon Philippines

 

From Luzon Philippines, we have to preserve our water, fishes, animals and forest. Then we have to improve our life & human’s rights. Both is needed even if it sometime contradicts.

Hiji-cho

 My hometown is called town of Hiji in Oita Prefecture. It is a quiet and small castle town facing Beppu Bay. However, it had been through the rough and tumble of Japan's feudal history with its ruins of castle. 

Over there, we invited the chairman of the Taiwan Hotel Association and people from a university in Taipei to enjoy the cherry blossoms around the castle and the tranquil scenery of Beppu Bay. As much fun as it is to bring people to my hometown to show off its scene and landscape.

Later, I attended a meeting with 60 Taiwanese businesspeople in Buzen City, a neighbor of Oita Prefecture. To show my deep respect to Buzen's resigning mayor, Mr. Goto, for his many years of hard work, we welcomed the 60 people together with him and the consul general in Fukuoka. Of course, the guests I invited in Hiji was also there. Then, right after of this activity, I hurriedly returned to Tokyo.

I always stay in my hometown for only two days or so, but whenever I visit, I receive a small healing there. I wonder, from far away in Tokyo, if there is anything I can do for this town and prefecture, but I still fear that the global turbulence that are spreading around the world will have an impact on Japan, and that this will extend to this quiet town of Hiji.

I'm heading to the Philippines today. After that, it will be a consecutive holiday called Golden Week.
