Hello! I went on a vacation summer June 91.
First I visited Vancouver for a few days and then I went to Tofino by bus.
It was fun reading that Marc still guides people in these beautyful surroundings.
He was my guide for a couple of hours and it was one of my best experiences.
I also took this "hot springs" tour with whalewatching but sadly, we didn't see any whales.
That's the only bad thing I remembered from my Canada visit. Someday I will return to you.
It was fun finding you on the Internet.
Kindly, Inger |

Hiruki-san,
The
JA*Net Ties Talk Archive is an incredible product!
I could hardly believe what I was seeing the first time I saw the summary.
I put the
J-School Thread to a good use immediately, i.e. distributed it to a group
of people I work with on the compilation of a Japanese language textbook
(called "Tsuzukete Manabo Nihongo") at the California
Association of Japanese Language Schools office in Los Angeles
(located at the Hollywood Japanese Community Center). They learned a lot
from various comments that the "Ties-Talk" contributors posted.
I, for one, am gratefully appreciative of your great work.
Thanks.

I am a sansei living in California, but I grew up in Louisiana.
I enjoyed reading the
"Ties Talk" Archives and realizing that Nikkei are really more
similar and united than I had thought. I grew up in a small Japanese
community in New Orleans: only 6-8 pre-War Nikkei families who experienced
the Internment, and about 180 or so shin-imin (post-War immigrants)
and Nihon-jin (Japanese nationals) just visiting for a few years.
I learned through the Archives (and living on the West Coast) that customs,
food preparation, language, perceptions about Japan and the USA are quite similar.
Deha mata,
Midori

Comments: My girlfriend and I would like to get married in Japan next year.
I would like to know how much something like that might cost us.
We are both non-Japanese but we want to get married different from all other Western styles.
We have spent a holiday in Japan in 1997 and we liked it very much.
We want to marry Shinto style and rent kimono and hire a photograper etc.
Perhaps you can help us with some information about this.
Domo arigato gozaimasu !

Dear Dr. Runker,
Shin-nen omedeto gozaimasu.
We have some similarity. I was born in Kanagawa (Yokohama), I am a
Virgo, and
left handed.
I am the president of Canada Kanagawa Kenjin Kai for past 3 years.
By the way, I have been enjoying your home page, The Runker Room, though I haven't finished yet.
Thank you for providing all the interesting information.
Hoping this year is a wonderful year to you and your family.
