Dear Gary,
I also believe that I can get much out of what you write on your email
in addition to my learning at my graduate school, but the problem is
that I honestly have hard time understanding your writing style.
So, who is working hard to get whom? I am with you on that the food at
Matsu Gawa is fantastic (actually, I am more familier with the
traditional Japanese food than the localized taste of
Japanese-American food), but I am not quite sure if I follow your idea
of making an example of this Japanese restaurant owned by a young
Korean man when talking about things like the Diamond Invention. Not
everything you see is all the same. It would be mistakening if you
tend to sort things out into separate catagories of your own standard.
Sam started this restaurant business to learn about the American
culture and the people. I don't know if Sam had told you about this.
His father is a living treasure in
Budhas. There is a photo calandar between the two audio speakers on
the right hand side of the door as you enter the restaurant, and that
photos of Budha sculptures in that calandar are the works of Sam's
father's. Sam's father is planning to open an art gallary in the
states probably in the next two or three years.
Sam thought it would be a good experience for him and his father to
start a small business and learn how to manage people around here.
Luckily Sam is learning a lot out of this now. But unlucky for his
mother, who has to run around the hall serving all seven tables and
plus the sushi bar... Woman at her age, we Koreans usually say,
deserves an easy life. This restaurant business is a first experience
for his mother as well.
I guess Sam's family is going through a lot, may be more than they
should experience or see from the preparation of his father's effort
to introduce and share the Asian beauty of wooden art with the people
around the world.
Anyways, it's really great that we get to meet some great people like
you from doing this business. We learn and share much from those who
visit Matsu Gawa. And for that reason, I thank you for widening my
view to look at things around us from a different perspective. Now,
I'm even thinking about writing my thesis for my master's degree on
diamond invention and its influence to the international security.
Before, I was more comfortable with the word hegemony when talking
about the security issue of the world, but now I think I can link the
two different topics and study the micro security issues that
critically connected to the macro security issues.
Thank you again for sharing your thoughts with me.
Whether I am missing your point or not understanding your intention
here, but I think I am getting much out of your communiques already.
Hahahaha
Have a wonderful day!!!

Yoonjee

Joonjee – I am quite certain you will get more out of what I write than
anything you learn at university with the possible
