My good friend Marianne came to Japan.
She and I are good friends for a long time.
She is Finnish and then she is a doctor (pediatrician), a member of Soroptimist Inter national,city councillor and Chairwoman.
She is a member of Save the Children or so many organizations. She is very busy woman.
She has 2 sons, 2 daughters and 3 grandchildren. We are the same age and the same birthday. We have been good friends since 1961,17 years old each other. Although, I met her the first time in this year. I had delighted to meet her and her husband.
Her husband named Risto is a doctor (pulmonologist), too. Both of them are a member of Rotarian and President of their club.
I had guided every where and then I showed Japanese customs and cultures.
They visited Hakone pass,Mt.Fuji,Kyoto,Himeji and Shizuoka etc.
She had two Soroptimist meetings in Numazu and Shizuoka . She attended by her beautiful national dress.
I went to the Numazu City Hospital to guide them,and I introduced my doctor to them.
Always I get a checkup in this hospital.
The other day we visited the Shizuoka Prefectural Hospital,and a member of the Diet,Mr.Harada at his home in Yaizu.
