Kiji, me, and yuhei

Flinder Square (Kindly like Guggenheim Bilbao for me) - Melbourne

Kiji who is a disable Japanese has already traveled 89 countries now.

Visit his website to get known him more!

.

Two weeks ago, Kiji went to Taiwan have a series speech to arouse the concentration of handicapted facilities.

He has really many exciting experiences and is willing to share with people!

I just read the news about his visit on the Yahoo!Kimo News~

I am really crazy~ I knew that he will visit Australia to be the 89th countries in November.

So, I contacted with him!

As you know, I met him yesterday!!!

He is really brave.

He visited Australia and New Zealand by himself.

And he drove from Adelade to Melbourne on his own too.

He just wants to show everybody, especially for those depressive disable people, he can do the same thing as the normal people.

For me, he acturally did more than normal people.

89 countries... man! what an amazing record!

Oh~ I am so sorry, he is in New Zealand now, so that will be 90 countries now.

.

He is quite smart that he will record and give the countries scores based on many aspects.

He gave Taiwan quite high scores in the disable accesseries!

But the food score was not so~

Ha! After the pressure from me, he said he really feel Taiwan should get "5 (full scores)" in the food.

I really hope he really think in that way~

.

We walked a lot in the city after the Taiwanese meal (there is only ONE Taiwanese restaurant in the city).

Between the meal, he mentioned lots of friends he knew during his trips.

Some of them are quite famous, and I thought it is really great to be that way.

Italy and Madacasca are the best countries he ever visited.

I can totally understand Italy is the best.

Well~ Madacasca will be interesting to let me research on it!

Ha!

.

I can see that he doesn't like Australia at all.

And the food here may only get "1".

(I told myself he felt that before the Taiwanese restaurant~ = =)

However, yesterday is interesting!

Met a new friend, and share many new issues together.

His English is ok, but he talked Japanese with my JP friend more.

He talked to me many times that he felt Taiwanese is sooooo friendly.

He also surprised why we like JP so much. (He also saw the movie - Cope No. 7 )

I tried to tell him in the historical way.

Yes, except Taiwan, it is really hard to find a country, most of citizens feel positive (or favorable) way to JP.

Ha~ Maybe it is one of the key issue to make Cope no. 7 so successful in Taiwan.

.

Wish Kiji will have a peace and wonderful trips in the future!!!
