I was born in Toronto and 100% Japanese- but cannot speak Japanse-too hard to learn. I go to the racetrack to see horses run and some times bet my $2.00. I love animals and they seem to like me.

Ritchie is a very kind and accommodating host. He looked after us better than our relatives and children. He had our room cleaned and bed sheets changed at least once a week. He kept the bathroom neat and clean, and provided new fragrant towels, blankets and bed sheets. His hospitality has been so extraordinary that it can not be described in words.
Host reply
I felt like I was the visitor and they were the host. They fed me most days and cleaned up. They also donated furniture and sofabed because I was sleeping on a comfy chair. A friendly Muslim couple He, Mahboob Illahi wrote a book, "Doctrine Of Terror which was very informative.
