コロナ収束後どの国へ旅行したいか、アンケートをとった結果、日本と答えた人が1番多かったとネットで読みました。日本人の1人として誇らしく思います。
アーヴィンくんとおしゃべりしました。

Good evening , Arvin.
Arvin
Likewise, Toshi-san.
Toshi
I came up with an interesting article while I was browsing through the internet.
Arvin.
What was it?
Toshi
A survey has been taken in some major countries around the world about where they want to travel to after the COVID-19 pandemic is over.
Arvin
What was the result?
Toshi
Japan ranked the first.
Arvin
There is no wonder why people would, you know , love Japan.
Toshi
As one of the Japanese citizens, I really feel proud of it.
Yeah, but I wonder, if those millions of travelers come to Japan in the future, it may lead to another wave of infection.
Arvin
Well, that’s funny. Yeah, I understand the fear. It’s not very easy and in the first place , you know crowded places are where they often happen so I understand the trauma.
Toshi
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe launched a stimulus package called “GO TO TRAVEL CAMPAIGN” which allows Japanese people to travel around Japan half the usual expenses soon after the first wave of pandemic was about to end, which induced the second wave.
Arvin
I understand the fear, Toshi san. But we must have the courage to start anew from nothing. And definitely as you know, it was more difficult in the past. Then it’ll be easier now , right? So no need to worry about that. Definitely there is another way for us to recover once that time comes again. And we shouldn’t be afraid. Japan has advanced technology and I’m confident that you know we’ve been through worse before you’ve been through a recession. So I think there is nothing that Japan cannot withstand.
Toshi
Thank you very much.
