Japan Society gave me an invitation. My first visit to NY.

The town was full of Japanese: is here Japan?
This was a two-night and four-day trip and I hate to have jet-lag, so I asked Mr. Soda, NY- based film director, to take me out for nightlife.

Thank you Soda-kun for your hospitality, taking me around till 4 A.M. every night!
And the morning view of the East River from the hotel was so beautiful...
Late at night, the Ground Zero was twinkling.

I talked with Soda-kun and Ms. Nagasawa of Japan Society about the world from the Japanese viewpoint...
I got an impression that Japanese in NY are making every effort for their life.
