Because beyond racing, the work and everything that fille our days, coming to Japan is always a truly special exp\u00e9rience.<br>I deeply love this country. Its atmosphere, its culture, its traditions but, above all, its people.<br>And I would even go so far to say that a trip to Japan should almost be mandatory, at least once in a lifetime, for us Europeans. Simply to remind us of certain values that we may habe forgotten along the way : respect for others, politeness, discr\u00e9tion, cleanliness, a sense of community. All those things that make a huge difference in the way we live together.<br>Every time I come here, I leave with the feeling that I have received far more than I came looking for.<br>Thank you Japan !
