Dear Ryan and Friends

I went to Yokohama Christ Church and found out that I am listed as one of the sick persons

to be prayed during the service. I had a leg injury and took several months to be healed and was on the list of prayer.

I mentioned to my Keio University professor at the service that I missed this summer lessons at Hiyoshi. I said my fear is that I don't have the drive to return to studies.  I mentioned that Keio and other universities in Japan should be like Harvard have free online courses for people. He mentioned the president of Keio University is now also head of all private universities in Japan. I do hope they will upgrade the " correspondence courses" to the level of the USA universities.  I said I might consider attending Harvard instead of Keio. He said MIT stated this free online course and now Harvard and the others have it too. I checked and found out they do have and plus Johns Hopkins too.  Now I realize what the writer in Japan said to the Junior High School students visiting Ogata Kouan 's house now run by the University of Osaka that it is very important to learn English today because the information you receive from Google in English is far more than in Japanese and it is true also with university studies 

国際教育研究所 AI>INSTITUTE aiinstitute@gmail.com About Yokohama City mayor, there are two groups of influence here

 October 17, 2026

A thought of a day.

There are two big groups influencing Yokohama world as my daughter said and I think so too.

One is the Port group港湾, port authority and teamsters. And the mayor who was elected and resigned is backed by the group.

The other is by Chamber of Commerce group like Art Jewelry/Bashamichi, Yokohama Rotary Club, Chikazawa/Motomachi,Kiyouken, Yuurindou, and shop owners and people gather around the New Grand Hotel They are for the bright lady highly educated woman.

Let's see who will be chosen this time.

Some thoughts of a day

I went to Yokohama International School in Honmoku, actually it is in Kominato.  I could see many students walking from bus stops and neighborhood. That was the initially idea the Yokohama City had in mind when the Honmoku Area was returned to Japan from the long occupation by the American Armed Forces.  It took thirty years from YIS has come from Yamate.  I tried to see Darren in charge of YIS but the security was tight and it was hard to go through their rituals of entrance. I find similar thing happening in the Australian Embassy and most probably others too.

I am bringing the Remembrance Day Poppy

Appeal materials to YIs and Beyondia International School.

Today was fine and rained and cloudy. 

I met Rex on Friday and got some idea for the Canadian education. He mentioned that under the first Trudeau Prime minister, Canada made its policy change to multi-racial society and the red maple leaf flag. Ever since that time Canda's migration went up and Rex thinks it is beyond what they can hold.

Rex mentioned that the Chinese come with mother and kid to get education and father works in China to support them.  I heard the same thing happened in Korea about thirty years ago to the USA. Japanese migrated before the war and had a hard time during the Worl War II, so migration to both Canada and the USA are not likely popular like those days. Those days most of the Japanese were laborers like farmers or fishermen and today their children are professionals and would not like to do as their fathers, but Rex said there are about 100,000 Japanese descendants in Vancouver area.

Rex said that the elite education in Canada is getting expensive and Appleby College in Oakville Ontario costs Gade 7 and 8 Canadian$ 48,000 CDN, Garde 11 and 12 $58,000CDN        Upper Canada College where his daughter went in Toronto, Ontario is Domestic boarder $82,000 CDN and International boarder $89,000 CDN.

Canadian dollar is 85 cents to American dollar.

Some thoughts from a day

I was at the Alumni meeting on October 3, 2026

It was supposed to be a memorial day for the graduates of SJC/SJIS died, but the name of Pedro Guzon, Ippei Iwasaki was not there and some others too. I thought we had missed the list but I remember we told the person in charge. He is getting old and memory is fading. I think it could happen to me or others. I can't blame him.  I am wondering to continue studying in Keio but I may think it over. I will decide it in December or January.  We are getting old and the memory may fade as any other person.

Dear Friends A Blog a day

As my student, Ryan Tsai is writing his journal a day. I should also write a Blog or a Journal a day. I don't know I have a discipline to so. Let us see!   HAHAHA

I met Rex Thomson on Friday, October 9th at a Cafe near Naka Sports Center.    I have the idea that the international school should look more into Canada than the USA or Australia.     New Zealand is a nice country, but it is small. I am trying to get much more information on     Canada. I met a Canadian military Attache last year and found that he was very friendly and nice. Through him I had a chance to take the principal of Beyondia International School to the embassy and later to their library. I heard from the principal that there were many Chinese and Korean at the library. They are fast to learn anything good.     

Right now, I am getting more information on Canada through Rex. He is my friend from Yokohama Christ Church, and his wife is a fourth-grade teacher at St. Maur International School. He is a financial planner from Canadian financial bank. His wife and he was at Bangalore, India before coming to Japan. She was teaching and administrating an international school in India and he was there, too.

The last St. Joseph School Festival 

on September 27, Sunday at Tsurumi.

A Paradise Lost: St. Joseph School was kind not only to students but also to the teachers. They will be handed over to a "Cramming" school in Saitama, Kaichi and name will change and ending as a Catholic school.

According to a lady who is the 10th graduate of the school said that the Atonement Society is a Franciscan Society and not fit to run a school like Jesuits or Marianists.

They should have told the graduates that they are in financial difficulties.

I was a speech judge of the school for over thirty years, loved and respected their spirit. It is very unfortunate to see two St. Joseph schools had terminated. They had very good heart. I think that is the most important thing.
