That must help to explain why his son was so open and funny ! We had the honour and pleasure of skiing with him (quite a few years ago) and he really made us laugh !

In Korean cable TV "Ryomaden" is quite popular... However, this series cannot be understood by western people or young Asians. It has too many subtle Japanese concepts... Explaining the Japanese situation from the middle of the 18th century to the 19th century is very important. Many young Asians don't know for example about the Russian expansion and the Japan's war against the Russians which was quite a justfiable one, and the fact that China was already divided up into many parts by warlords, France, Germany, and England. Movies and TV series are good way to educate people but they must be "understandable".
