 The husband and his wife were from Hong Kong and their two daughters were exactly like Japanese girls because they were shy and small.  The couple was greatly concerned about the Great East Japan Earthquake, worrying about the removal of debris.  The wife said that some of her friends went to the Tohoku district to do volunteer work.  We also talked about the education of the U.S. and Japan.  I learned the power of a family and the strength of joining together with others.
