前回も書いたように、Ronさん、24歳（1972年）の頃の話です。1972年は札幌オリンピックが開催され、沖縄が返還された年です。また、アメリカではニクソンが再選されました。
個人的な好みですが、この年のお気に入りの映画は「ゴッドファーザー」。いまだに年一回程度みます。音楽は、ミッシェル・ポルナレフ。
Also, there was Sam Fisk. He was a graduate from UC Berkeley and extremely smart. He was in San Jose in a Master’s program in Psychology. He later dropped the program and decided to transfer to San Francisco State University and pursue a Masters in mobility and orientation for the blind. I meet up again with him years later in Hawaii.
Another person in the R & W House was Tom Tang. He was from Hong Kong, and we were not that close, but one summer a friend of his studying in the UK came to visit. His name was Jimmy Chan, also originally from Hong Kong. He went away to a British boarding high school, and then continued on for university and graduated school in mathematics in London. Well, we became the best of friends from that first meeting in the R & W House and are still in contact today, 40 years later. He now makes his home outside of Toronto, Canada. I visited him in Canada several times over the years, as well as meeting in both Hong Kong and Japan.
Then, there was Ken Holden’s. He was the #1 drug user in the R & W House and majored in Art. As a matter of fact, his class twice hired me as a nude model! I sat nude for an hour and was paid extremely well.
I learned many things living in the Roger Williams House through the other occupants, but something also sticks out among all others. We all had our problems of one sort or another, and we learned to care and accept each other as we were. That is something most of us did not get in our respective homes. We in a sense became a family.
いままでのRonさんの話から、多民族国家、モザイク国家といわれる米国では、幼少期から学生時代の多感な時期に、異文化と触れる多くの機会があることが分かります。
日本でもコロナ禍で外国人観光客は激減しましたが、職場や日常生活で訪れる飲食店やコンビニなどでも外国人と触れる機会があります。
ちょっとした外国人との交流をとおして、異文化理解を深めたいものです。
と、以前は思ったものですが、もっと積極的に体験して欲しい！でも、コロナで海外にも行けず、大事な異文化理解の機会が失われています。
