Encountering Nature Part 3

Good morning, everyone! Today I'd like to talk about relationships between nature and health. For years I suffer from tinnitus or ringing sounds in ears and in the head as well. My tinnitus drives me crazy when I stay alone in the high-rise apartment. I believe the air pressure of the 20th floor's height has a bad effect  on my ear-ringing.

She always said somthing at the end of the sentence " Dosu ". and  instead of Thank you, " Ookini ". I found my mother foreign.

I sometimes talked with Mr. Katsuki, who graduated from Kobe University. One day he asked me,"What do you think, myself ?" or in Japnese " Jibunwa ?" I was disturbed by his last remark, " myself ". I thought if he asked me for my opinion, he shoud give his thoughts at first. Later on I got to know " Jibunwa" of Kansai dialect meant " you" or in Japanese " Anatawa". My company was located in front of Osaka Stati...
