Names and Addresses

I think for the most part that major, obvious emotional facial expressions are pretty easy to distinguish. For example, I feel pretty confident that I know if someone is in pain, very upset, or very happy. I DO think though, that minor expressions probably vary more from culture to culture. So, if I am in a social situation where maybe some people would rather be somewhere else, I'm sure that is harder to tell ANYWHERE.

祉　Happiness
悲しみ　Sadness
怖い　　Scared
怒る　Angry
憂うつな　Depressed
寂しい　Lonely
満足　Satisfied
いらいら　Frustrated
羨ましい　Jealous
誇らしげ　Proud

    I agree with you.
    Actually we are living in a Japanese-dominated country, and we can communicate with eash other withour any trouble; however, most people are in trouble in communicating with other people.

    and I have one question.
    I can't understand the kanji "祉".

    I am very sorry but I have misplaced the sign-up sheet with the volunteers names and email addresses on it. If you signed up to make potato salad, set-up, cook/serve food, or clean up, please leave me a comment!
