みなさん、こんにちは!
September 21st is “Respect Senior Citizen Day”.
Let’s read an Internet article today.
The average Japanese life expectancy gets longer again
Woman keeps the longest
The average Japanese life expectance for me is 79.29 years old and women is 86.05 years old, 0.10 and 0.06 for each over than the last year.
It hits the record for 3 consecutive years.
According to the Health, Labour and Welfare Ministry, Japanese women live longest in the world for 24 years and for men is the fourth.
Here is a cute story that makes you smile.
The oldest men in Japan interviewed and asked his types of women.
He answered “I like someone older than me.”
