Guiding Two Young Men from Brunei around Kamakura

[Date and Time] Thursday, October 15, at 12:10~16:00
[Spots] Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, Hasedera Temple, and Kotokuin Temple (Great Buddha)
[Visitors] 2 Chinese Bruneians
[Attendant] One KSGG member
[Language] English

The visitors were two intelligent and agreeable young men, 32 and 38, and took a great interest in the matter of religion in Japan and the behavior of Japanese business men of their generation. Brunei is a rich country where people don’t have to pay any income tax. Also, it is said that in Brunei ordinary company employees live in a house located 10 to 15 minutes away from their offices by car, and they get away from work around six o’clock in the evening. How I envy them! It was a very enjoyable and meaningful guide to me, too.
