Conclusion
At the end of this path you should know something more about Japan, about its culture, about its people and above all its history. We really have to thank Junko for her friendliness and for her availability to talk about her, about her experience and about the tragedy which occured in her country.
I really hope you are aware of the great opportunity you had to meet such a person!
