My Friends in Paris and Tokyo

While I'm not very good at keeping in touch with people, I somehow manage to maintain contact with two friends from college. One of them works for a small company in Tokyo. His goal is to start his own company and ultimately establish a foundation to help the needy all over the world. Although he is in business and I’m not, we share the same aspiration, to make contributions to humanity—no matter how small they are.

Another is a businesswoman working in Paris. She is married to a Frenchman. I'm a little jealous of her not only because she lives in Paris but also because she can witness on a daily basis the process of "European integration," a sociologically and psychologically fascinating phenomenon. I hope I will be able to become a famous sociologist/psychologist in the future and go to many countries, including France.
