On May 16^th, I participated in the 3^rd Henro Experience for Foreign Residents, where we walked about 15 kilometers between Nagaoji and Okuboji.  At our departure point, Nagao Temple, a monk from the temple taught us about the history of Nagaoji, including the fact that on the temple's main hall can still be found the family crest of the Matsudaira Clan - the feudal lords of Takamatsu who used to give patronage to the temple.  I translated this conversation for the benefit of the other participants.  This was physically the most difficult Henro Experience thus far, but we reached the peak of Nyotai Mountain, just before Okuboji, we could all deeply appreciate the beauty of Sanuki as we looked out onto the scenery below us.

The ambassador of the Republic of Cuba visited Kagawa for a lecture on cross-cultural exchange and for exchange through baseball. He had a courtesy visit with the Governor.

We followed the "Shikoku no Michi" (Shikoku Path) stretching between Nagaoji Temple and Okuboji Temple. The weather was unstable but it didn't rain hard until the end of the event.

5月13日(星期三)～14日(星期四)，在高松市举办了"第12届日中友好交流大会"，中日友好协会及社团法人日本中国友好协会的代表团拜访了香川县知事。知事致欢迎词之后，宋健中日友好协会会长讲话。说到中国陕西省和香川县的友好交流关系，以及和高松市等友好城市的交流关系，这对两国的经济•文化交流极其有效。
