A Speech2011.07.13

I was invited to an old people's event to have a speech in front of them, twenty-three people. Most of them used to work for papermaking in this village and the speech was about my experience with paper; < Washi to Watashi >, or Japanese paper and me. The topic is a little funny, kind of playing words, but no one cared about it then.....

The speech was for one hour. Some of them had asked me to have something funny stories, but I didn't know what could make them laugh... because the huge age gap... I enjoyed the time together, anyway.
