On 24th of August 2008, at the moment out of the customs Neil San and Miriam San(
Mr. and Mrs. Rosewarne) found out us. “Hi Mochi” Miriam San called me. They visited in Japan several times before and this January also. We have reliable relationship very much each other. Before I left Japan, I checked their place by the tool of “street view”
on the internet. But “Seeing is believing” , I felt as soon as I stepped on the land of
Australia, it is a big country. Their house is very big and they have a very big garden (field or farm),
also two cute cats, two funny dogs and a big horse. We can see wild kangaroos,
wild rabbits, wild ducks, wild colourful parrots and another kinds of birds
in their big land. What a big Dojo it is! It looks like a gymnasium.They have several Cheng Ming Schools. Instructor(Director) Miriam is a very aggressive teacher and good at teaching
Tai Chi. We practiced at their Dojo in our spare time. Two ladies(Ezawa and Masuda) had very big valuable experiences, because
the purpose of coming Australia it was only practicing Tai Chi (Hsing-I
etc.) with Mr. and Mrs. Rosewarne for championship of September. Not sightseeing. They practiced very much, sometimes they helped Mr. and Mrs. Rosewarne
to teach Tai Chi to her students. We took the very excellent taste of breads to get Neil’s bakery shop, very
big size Australian beef and their warm-hearted beautiful dishes. Neil San had one week vacation for us. Even if Miriam San had very busy schedules, she had a short trip for us. At one Tai Chi school we demonstrated Taichi Chuan and I demonstrated Hsing-I
Pattern, too. Two ladies taught Taichi Chuan to students using English. We enjoyed this life very much, and we had very happy time. We appreciate Neil San and Miriam San for our reception. We respect for Neil San and Miriam San.
See you again.

平成20年8月23日から8月31日まで，望月総教練と府中市女性センター支部の増田さんと私の三人でオーストラリア支部ワトル・グレン スクールを訪問しました。
木立のささやきが聞こえるかのように研ぎ澄まされた空気が，ゆっくりと流れていく南半球の山間に，ニール・ミリアムご夫妻の道場がありました。暑い夏の日本を離れここは少々肌寒い位の遠いオーストラリアの地，太極拳の練習には，この上ない環境で数日を過ごさせていただきました。ご夫妻の数か所の教室にもお邪魔して，地元の皆さまと貴重な触れ合いの時間をいただきました。練習には二匹の猫と二匹の犬が必ず同行します。任せておけとばかりにおしりをふりふり私たちの前を歩き道場まで案内してくれます。おどけた顔と少々小太りの体がとても愛らしく本当に可愛い彼と彼女たちでした。たくさんのいやしをもらいました。
ご夫妻のご親切には心から感謝いたします。
Have a nice day. 2008. 8. 30

日本とはまったく季節の違うオーストラリアのローズウォーン夫妻の家庭に一週間お世話になりました。空港からの広い道と空と木々の景色は正に別世界パラダイスでした。
毎朝小鳥たちのさえずりで目覚め，おいしい空気を充分に身体に取り入れられて気分爽快。東京では絶対あり得ない体験ができたことを感謝します。
