Although I live with my family in New York, I deeply love Italy for three important reasons, and I believe that Italians can still contribute a lot in a world that seems to have everything. The three main reasons are: - Excellence at first. Italy is known for its pursuit of quality. The term "Made in Italy" is recognized globally, and it is a commitment to delivering only excellent quality products. This principle applies to various sectors, from fashion to luxury, from manufacturing to pharmaceuticals, and beyond. - Secondly, Italians are passionate and express their emotions naturally. This attitude is different from countries that value a cool and impassive demeanor, but it is a healthy way of relating to others. - Thirdly, there is a deep-rooted commitment to family and community in Italy. Despite the challenges, families and communities come together, unifying generations. Families eat together at the dinner table, and friends still meet in person, not just virtually. The sense of belonging to one's local area retains its importance. Overall, Italy's commitment to quality, passion, and family and community ties is admirable and worth emulating. With respect for all inhabitants of the Earth.

Friends, let's embark on a journey to re-imagine Japan's international appeal. 🌏🇯🇵 It's time we cast aside the notion of “My Japan”, the domestic, self-crafted image Japanese people hold of their country and unfortunately far too often try to sell to the outside world. While My Japan is beautiful and deeply cherished, it is often not what resonates with the global audience. 💭 For international allure, it's essential to separate domestic self-image from what genuinely captivates global hearts. This can be a challenging transition, as it means letting go of longstanding institutional perspectives and embracing a new, international narrative. Just as I've been advocating for the hidden charm of Nakano Ward in Tokyo, it's vital to promote the unique aspects that would attract international visitors. Let’s strive to understand and embrace what genuinely captivates the international community, aligning it with the authentic beauty of Japan. 🌸 I believe in a future where Japan's allure shines bright, not just from within but radiating globally, touching hearts across the world. Like my new friend Amit, who took a trip to Nakano Broadway on a trip to celebrate the end of his military service. #Japan #InternationalAppeal #GlobalAudience #Tourism #NewNarratives

Japan Airlines (JAL) announced on the 17th that director Ms. Mitsuko Tottori has been promoted to president. Mr. Yuji Akasaka, president, will become chairman. This is the first female president of Japan Airlines. Ms. Tottori became an executive after working as a flight attendant. And this time she finally took the top position in the company. In Japan, the number of female presidents and company executives is lower than in the world (especially in developed countries). This is said to be a social issue. News that a female will become the president of a large company. It is already outdated for this to be a topic. That said, it is an important social contribution for large companies to foster more and more female managers and top executives. #japanairlines #femalepresidentjapan #jalpresidentnew #femaleexecutivesjapan #companypresidentwoman #womenadvancementtosociety #newpresidentjal #socialissuejapan

The Scandinavian region is an interesting place, but it is, of course, only a part of the wider Baltic region – an interesting place with lots of close relations! A great way to experience the region is by cruise ship. We are talking full-size ocean-going ships with every comfort such as spas, pools, and restaurants. There is also plenty of shopping that takes advantage of the tax-free status of the Baltic Sea. The Baltic Sea is logically called the Eastern Sea [Östersjön] in Swedish. Nor is it very deep - with an average depth of 55 meters, part of it is even called the-bottom-sea in Swedish. If you live in Stockholm, then Finland is easily accessible by the Finlandsfärja [Finland-cruise-ships] that depart from central locations daily. Similarly convenient ships exist if you want to visit Germany, Poland, or one of the Baltic states – it's a hugely popular trip. The relations stretch back far, and Sweden’s capital of Stockholm was actually part of the Hanseatic League - the trading federation led by German cities. Sweden’s largest island of Gotland was another member
