"As long as people of your culture are convinced that the world belongs to them and that their divinely-appointed destiny is to conquer and rule it, then they are of course going to go on acting the way they've been acting for the past ten thousand years...You can't change these things with laws. You must change people's minds."
(Ishmael, Daniel Quinn, pp. 249)
Your hostess is a genki transplanted Kanadajin, teaching English at a Junior High School. Into my 2nd year as an ALT on the JET Programme and lovin' every minute of it! Cheers and enjoy!
