Ideal Man

My ideal man is made of personality 40%
looks 30%
mutual interests 20%
good voice 10%.


My height is 169centimeters, so I emphasize one's height.
A man of square frame and tall is perfect for me. ha-ha

I think that it's important to have same hobbies.
Even if we are women each other, our conversation is very exciting throught mutual interests.

"Good voice" is pretty important.
When I am sad, I'm encouraged by favorite songs.
So I want to be feel conforted by good voice. ha-ha

Class #3 Buddism

1. How is your daily life affected by Buddhism? What do you do and why do you do it?

Yes. Buddhism affects our life. A saying was very impressive for me.
The saying is "Even a chance meeting is due to the karma in previous life." (袖振り合うも他生の縁)
Its mean is similar to "meeting only once in a lifetime." (一期一会)

This saying seems to come from Buddhism.
I liked this saying, but I knew it came from Buddhism and was very surprised.
There are other sayings and words about Buddhism.
So I thought that we came with Buddihism before we know.

Class #4 Islam

I was absent from the class, so I can't write comment.

1.How do you greet people in your life? Is it different for different people? Why?
I change greetings depending on relation between the person and me.
For example in the morning, I say to my friends "ohayou". In elder case, I say to them "ohayougozaimasu" and bow.
Basically, I greet senior politely with respect.

2.Do you touch people when you talk to them? Why? Or Why not?
I seldom touch people much less senior when talking to them.
Even so I touch people, it would be as communication to only friend.
