Question 1

The oldest person I know is my wife's Grandmother. She is 94 years old.

Question 2

Honestly, I'm not sure what her profession was before she retired. Now, she is into gardening. She gives us fresh seasonal vegetables about four times a year. She gives me good tips for my greenhouse.

Question 3

The life expectancy of men in America is 78.69. The life expectancy for women in America is 81.6. The ladies win.

Question 4

I don't think that I will live very long. Many of my family members have died of cancer. My brother had brain cancer. He passed away in 2003 at the age of 47. My mother died of colon cancer in 1985 at the age of 55. However, my grandfather lived to be 99. Hopefully, I will take after my grandfather.

Question 5

There are many things in Japan that I would like to do before I die. I want to go on a tour of Yamazaki distillery in Oyamazaki. I would like to go skiing, and enjoy onsen in Hokkaido. I would like to read a book on the beaches of Okinawa.

Question 6

I don't fear death. I believe that death can exist during life, if you don't live your life when you're alive in some ways you are already dead. I believe that my son and daughter can live on for me, if I die.
