I am a foreigner who is married to a japanese,we have 1 daughter.I am very much worried about the future of my daughter here in japan.First is the economy,second is the environment,thirdly is the gov’t to be honest deep in my heart I do not believe that the japan’s economy will recover,why? because of the attitude of the gov’t officials,secondly at the time of Mr.Abe next is Mr.Fukuda who just simply resigned because of their personal reason.Now here is this PM Aso who is working very hard for the country,others they keep on bullying which really hurts me a lot.As a foreigner I can feel the sincerity of serving in the heart of PM Aso.Stop bullying him,they keep on commenting that he is not good in Kanji,what if he is not good? I cannot see any problem about it, the important is he is true and sincere.It really shows the true color of the japanese people they like to bull,excellent.Why not look at the environment thare are so many children, adult who just stay in their room they do not join the society.They are all sick in mind and heart.Why not act like an matured and professional just to improve the economy.As foreigner I am rating japan as the lowest score in attitude.Wake up!
