One of my favourite photos is of a woman traveling from USA .
I took the photo in october 2004 at Narita Airport. I just was coming back Japan from San Francisco. She was going by same aircraft. Narita Airport was crowded by a lot of journalists. I took a picture near than journalists.
I had business trip with coworker, and I went to Sacramento city for one week. When we returned, I saw the woman at San Francisco Airport. I felt that I had seen the woman somewhere before.
Everyone called the woman Q-chan . She was a marathon runner who won the gold medal in the Sydney Olympic games. She debuted solo with independent a team just time. So she was returning from the training in USA.
I keep this photo on my pc. She wasn't chosen for the Beijing Olympics, although I hope she keeps Q-chan smile.
English language school in the heart of the Japanese Alps, and English language learners sharing their experiences online. Teachers post regular items about teaching, learning tools, events in the school, their day to day experiences living & working in a foreign country. Students post on whatever takes their fancy - book reports, festivals in home towns, postcards from business trips etc. A little Brit of England in the guts of Japan!

Hi! Yatchi.
ReplyDeleteYou are very lucky man as seeing to Q-chan.I think that she is good runner and the greatest person in Japan. Do you like jogging or marathon?. I like some sports, but I don't like them. I like skiing, snowboarding, dancing ,climbing mountain. I feel so happy and fine when I am doing them. I am only tired when I am jogging. I know jogging is good for my health, but I can't enjoy it.
Shin,
How I envy you!
ReplyDeleteI like Q-chan. She is positive and cheerful.
I want to see her win the Victory by the marathon again.
