I don't quite remember if it's national holiday before, anyway, it's not now. But we couldn't just respect elders on that day, we should respct them all the time, aren't we? :mrgreen: 皆さん、初めまして。Karenです。

By moving it to Monday which is the next day of Sunday, the nation can have longer holidays. And that is called "Happy Monday" system. But why JP101.com picked up this day which has already passed by as a topic now, Peter-san? :???: "体育の日(Taiiku no hi)" is coming soon; October 9, the second Monday of October.:wink: "Mothers' Day" and "Fathers' Day" they were referring are not national holidays but "Children's Day" is. I'm sorry for mothers and fathers:sad: Anyway, thanks to Yoshi-san.

So the majority of immigrants will come from somewhere where a low paid job in Japan is seen as a step up. Probably Chinese from the less affluent parts of China I'd guess rather than Europeans or Americans. Although determined people from there might take advantage of a more liberal immigration policy. 今日は、雷雨が降っていました。 Why is Takase-san's name called out around 12:50 ???
