1. I agree the Japanese concept of "wrapping". Japanese people tend to keep someone at a distance. Especically, when meet someone for the first time. I think people protect themselves from other person unknowingly. Also, I think it is difficult to open myself to others in a little while to any stuation.

2. "Death and Funerals"

a. Where do you go when you die?

I will go to heaven when I'm dying.

b. Explain why do Japanese have death memorial services 1 month, 1 year, 3 years, etc. after a person's death?

In generally, we pray for the souls of the dead and comfort the spirits of a person's death. we are inmouring for a person's death 49 days after. Death memorial services from 1 year, we call "motyuu". 1 year mean is the day in. It is call "mo ga akeru". We have to Death memorial services (Buddihist memorial service) 1 year and 3 years with blood relative.
