It is an amazing culture and I have always been fascinated by it.
That is the most enjoyable thing to me.
You find a common ground, even though the language is different.
Those values are very important to me.
I think that they are very important to have in life.
The Samurai were the artists of their time.
They were educated to be leaders and to lead and to help people.
Helping someone is the most gratifying thing in the world.
