Hmm. Is this a common occurence? I find this surprising, since even westerners usually hardly express how they feel but instead describe the state of the condition. E.g. I'd say, "It's great that you won the lottery".. not "I feel great that you won the lottery." My impression of japanese society is that they don't express their emotions readily. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Make a clean sweep of pop-up ads. Yahoo!
