Yesterday it was ten years
since Christchurch Earthquake.

185 people including 28 Japanese were killed
in the earthquake.

How is Christchurch, NZ, now?
I hope Christchurch rebuilt after the big earthquake.

In 2001, when I was 59 years old, I had an exciting
adventure in my life.

I went abroad for the first time in my life.

Yes, I went to Christchurch in New Zealand
by myself and stayed with an English couple
for one month.

I like visiting places of note in the world but----
I like talking to local people much more.

I shall never forget those happy days
with an English couple in Christchurch, NZ.
