One of the topics in my Man to Man class with the Koreans...was Rent-A-Family.I could not hardly believe that there is such a thing like this.
There are a number of rent-a-family companies in Japan.One in Chiba, for instance, is called Japan Efficiency Headquarters.Elderly parents often do not live with their oldest son's family, as was almost the case before the war.Further weakening the tie between parents and their grown children are the long hours the children put in at work.
Rent-A-Family companies say business is booming.Japan Efficiency Headquarters, for example, has 80 people on its waiting list.
The company's president says,"Our purpose is to fill a hole in the heart".
Not all Japanese are enthusiastic about rent-a-family companies. A Japanese professor who specializes in aging says,"Personality, it is beyond my understanding," and a Japanese sociologist says simply,"it is very sad."
And it is seriously true...good thing that we don't have that here in the Philippines...Mabuhay for the Filipinos...

MY ALTER EGO
It's so funny to think, yet ecstatic, when somebody persistently persuade you that you are facially resemblance to somebody, may it be famous or not.
My Korean students seriously trying to compare me to this Korean actor with an English name of Eric, as well.
They were just basing my old picture way back my glorious hairy days....
This picture that you'll see below was my school photo during my high school....just try to judge and compare me to this Eric Moon a Korean actor, if we really are alike to each other facially.
In the lowest part,is my recent picture taken at Taal at the edge of the crater itself...and was and is still compared to famous International actor Yul Brynner
Well,it's up to you guys whether you'll curse me to high heavens....that's how my Korean students see me...it may be a wrong perspective and intuitions but allow me to indulge this simple things that at least foreign students appreciated the way I look now and the Eric (Me) before.
I really thank God for that...............
THE YOUNG ME................
ERIC MOON OR MOON JUNG HYUK in Korean name..
THIS IS ME...NOW.
MY KOREAN STUDENTS COMPARED ME TO THIS GREAT HOLLYWOOD ACTOR YUL BRYNNER
