LAUGHTER...AND Q-CHAN

The other day I went to YOSHIMOTO and saw some manzai comedy groups and also a comedy play. It was great. At Yoshimoto, they say, "Laughter can change Japan" and "Laughter is healthy"...I think they are right! Because laughing can change you, and you can change things around you! Do you have any funny stories to tell?

Also, Takahashi (Q-chan) was really great in the Tokyo marathon. Honestly, I didn`t think that she could do it. She failed at the Tokyo marathon 2 years ago, she changed coaches, she was injured, and she`s not young for a runner, but she just kept running...and she won! I ran the Fukuchiyama Marathon about 9 years ago and finished in 3 hours and 35 minutes. Believe me, a full marathon is not an easy accomplishment! Q-chan did a great job, and she did it with a smile, and she also made a lot of people smile!!! She is really something else!!! :)
