As the fifth forum in the "Bridge to foreign countries Series", I have decided to set up "Bridge to Philippines".

***From the U.S.A., full of the freedom being bound with rules, to Spain, where a man lives with the passion naturally as it is

If you have read my article titled "1.Origin of Bridge to Spain" in "Bridge to Spain" forum, you may have understood the fact that the discovery of Spain at my age of 32 really is a revolution of young era in my life after I started from U.S.A. which I had been admiring for the long time.

***To the Thiland, a Spain in the Orient, which is infinitely ingenuous and pure

If you have read my article titled "1.Origin of Bridge to Thailad" in "Bridge to Thailad" forum, you may have understood the fact that the discovery of "A Latin world full of even more ingenuous and pure atractiveness than Spain" in my neighbour in the Orient added new axises, the Orient and the Western to the Latin world, which I had been attracted, and also, this fact made my view of the world so certain

***To the Korea, a root of Japan

If you have read my article titled "1.Origin of Bridge to Korea" in "Bridge to Korea" forum, you may have understood the fact that I happened to meet our neighbour Korea to receive strong shock as if I had met with unknown family who parted in life and then I stepped into Korean world as if I were carazy about trying to retrace my root instinctively.

I learned their language and cultures are so close to those of us, and I even found that they still keep traditional courteous idea and a heart to respect and love people purely which we have been losing under westernization, as a root of Japan's culture. I think I could learn a lot from them because of the fact that I, as a japanese understand Korea which is a root of Japan's heart and culture, brought me to hold in high esteem to being a japanese, and made it sure my own aixes of coordinates.
Three years have past, and now I have no problem at all communicating in Korean, and after all I changed my job to the Korean trade house, I have watched more than two thousand korean drama video tapes, I have been to Korea many times, and I have gotten a lot of Korean friends now. Thus, I now can see and tell Korean peoples distinguishing their good natures and bad natures clearly. Knowing my own root and getting my own axises of coordinates clearer, I feel that that now I can see myself with a clear certainty.

***The last stop in sight, ingenuous, pure, and perfectly happy and cheerful Philippines

I was surprised with myself to get see much clearer in front of me than before what is the most valuable thing for me and what I am looking for. Looking back all of my life till now, I feel as if I could see the place where I left my heart. A country where a man lives as a man with the passion, with a pure and ingenuous heart having no worries, perfectly cheerful and happy... I got to remind many happy memories that I experienced in past six years in Southeast Asian countries starting with Thailand. Oh yeah, there it was, that was true that I felt then! I now got to be able to believe so with a clear certainty.

Retracing back to my memories searching a people that is facing the limited life obediently, associating with people with a pure heart, always look ahead only under any situations, with infinitely ingenious and pure heart, and infinitely cheerful and happily with no worries, I found myself that I am standing in front of Phillipines without any doubt.
I do not know any other countries where the people matches to the word "infinitely cheerful and happy" than Philippines, and I have no hesitation to select this word, "infinitely cheerful and happy" to express Filipinos if I was forced to choose only one word.

I hope I will be able to steep mysel in the Philippines' world with those who wish the same way through this forum.
