Notes:
embarrassed 当惑した;
——————-
Over the weekend, I met a university student from Christchurch, New Zealand. He has been in Fukui for the last year studying Japanese. I told him that I had been to his hometown and talked about all the wonderful places I had seen, but he looked a little embarrassed. He said that even though he had grown up in New Zealand, he didn’t really know much about it. It’s true. We often don’t appreciate the great things around us until we hear others talking about them. This is one way that travel broadens the mind. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
