Hmm... everyone seems agreeable to "Love is silent" totally or to some extent.
There might be a little difference between US and Japan. I've just remembered an interesting essay of an American woman I read before. It says "Japanese couples know what each other are thinking without even talking. But it isn't true in the US where some people think men and women are from different planets when it comes to communication." She added "The fact is a lot of American women have no clue what their men are thinking."
This is just an essay, but American women seem to want men to tell exactly what men are thinking.
By the way, during "Golden Week", from 5/3 to 5/4, I'm going to Tanigawa Cottage which hiking club owns. It's in Gunma. Sophomore said we would be able to enjoy a beautiful river and mountains. I'm really looking forward it. Who would like to come? Please ask me! I'll tell you the detail.
