Happiness for all

Self-introduction

I am a Japanese who has been living in the Netherlands for more than 20 years now.

At first I was surprised and stunned by the directness of Dutch people, but now I am able to deal with it.

I have been thinking a lot about where differences in culture and customs come from, but I would like to change my perspective, I want to understand each other from what we have in common as human beings and build better relationships.

Nowadays, the world is becoming increasingly "globalised" and there seems to be a growing friction between different ethnic groups, different cultures and different religions. I would like to think about how we can overcome our differences and make everyone happy.

Reading books in English is a recent trend among young people in the Netherlands. In Dutch schools, where many foreigners study, classes are also taught in English.

I have added English to Dutch and Japanese, in the hope that they will also read it in English. Except for Japanese, which is my mother tongue, the rest of the articles have been machine-translated and modified. I would be happy to be informed of any errors.
