Yesterday, I left the hotel at 6:20 in the morning and climbed on a plane to Miami at 8:30. We arrived in Miami a little earlier than originally thought. However, since the computer at the immigration was having a problem, we had to wait in line for over an hour. This caused us to miss the flight to Puerto Rico and it was 9 o’clock at night when we finally arrived at San Juan airport. I was pretty tired by then.

There seems to be increasing amounts of computer problems at the American immigration lately. I’ve experienced similar type of problems few times already. I told the immigration officer that they should try Japanese computers next time.

I was pleasantly surprised to see the beautiful beach and the Caribbean Sea when I woke up this morning.

An early morning TV interview was waiting for me here as well. My wife stayed behind at the hotel. The photograph above was taken by her. The time shows 7:45 in the morning. Yes, I once again had to wake up at 6 to be at the TV station by 7.

I returned to the hotel for breakfast after that and attended a joint press conference at Lawyers’ Hall that started at 10:30. The lady on my left is Hiromi Shiba, she’s been living in Puerto Rico for 20 years. To my left is a Hado Instructor, Carmen. And the one on the far left is a famous local artist that created a wonderful poster with water crystals.

Autographing the poster together.
He had offered to donate all profit made by the poster to the EMOTO project.

After a quick lunch following the press conference, we visited an elementary school that is located about 30 minutes away. There was something wonderful awaiting for me.

First of all, right when I entered the school there was a poster in the hall way. I was surprised at the pictures and words on that poster.

It said water we love you, appreciate you, and take care of you, and welcomed me for coming in Spanish.

Children that were waiting for me

they were very adorable

They all had a piece of paper with their own question for me. The questions were simple, yet very thoughtful. The first question was “why do we have to take care of water?”

Afterwards, they showed me a prayer ceremony for water that they do everyday. Ｔｈｅｒｅ was a poster of water crystals that the children wrote placed on the floor under the water.

We poured our feelings to the water there. They all said, “water we love you, water we thank you, water we respect you”. I was very touched by this and felt tears brimming in my eyes.

After the prayer for water, Carmen, my wife, and I gave the children crystal stickers to stick on their forehead.

A mother had it on too.

There were samples of water from different places that the children had collected. They pray to this water everyday too.

A photograph with the faculty and the parents. The one on my left is the principle of the school. I wanted some of those Japanese physics professors that are criticizing about introducing what is not proven science to the classroom to have experienced this as well. It was such a moving special class for the children and myself.

With the national police that escorted me all the way until the departure of the country at Bogota Airport. The check in and the immigration was all taken care of as a VIP too. However, I think I won’t need any escorts next time because I realized that the country is very safe and I think I will enjoy a little free time of my own to wonder about.

In addition, the Hado Instructor from the 3rd school, Michael, joined us while we were in Colombia. He came all the way from Toronto in Canada. He’s quite strong and single so I’m thinking maybe I can invite him next time to travel with me and act as my personal body guard too.

So, the visit to Colombia was a very satisfying, learning experience.
The visit started with a breakfast with the first lady and ended with a lunch with the president. The four seminars in between totaled 2000 participants, and we had over ten interview from major media outlets.
I felt the water’s energy burst out at this visit in Colombia.
Viva Colombia, muchas, muchas gracias!

The best of Dr. and Mrs. Visit to Colombia.

The first time my wife wore her birthday Colombian emerald necklace was at a lunch that this man has hosted. So who is this gentleman? He is the Colombian president, president Uribe.

Of course, I need to take a photograph with him too. The president had taken my wife’s arm and gently escorted her.

The president listened to my short presentation with interest.

With the Minister of Environment.

The president sought out my thoughts on the purification of water at tea after lunch. We had planned for an hour but it went over 45 more minutes. I felt it was a very productive meeting.

Photograph with all, my wife is the only one looking at her own camera.

A dog that was at the presidential mansion.
My wife was scolded for taking a photograph by the guard there right afterwards.

We went to visit Santiago’s clinic.
He is a researcher of geometry energy.
I have a feeling we can work on something in the future.

A photo shoot for a magazine at the clinic’s yard.
Since I’m a water researcher, I often receive request for a photograph with water.

We had a full house at our last seminar in Colombia.

The night ended with a warm standing ovation from the audience.

March 30th is my wife’s birthday so we went to a local jewelry store for to pick out her birthday present. This is with the store manager.

I bought a necklace with Colombian made emerald, a big shopping commitment for me. This should keep my wife happy for another ten years.

Photography diary once again. We moved to Cali in Colombia and conducted prayer ceremony and a seminar.

March 26th, arrived at Cali airport

The national police of Cali was waiting for us at the airport to escort us. They stayed right besides our car while we traveled around Cali.

Cali is the hometown of Dr. Julio.
The beautiful orchid was displayed at the waiting room of his clinic.

My wife loves dogs.

Cali seminar that started from 8pm

About 600 people came but the projector and the computer did not match! I had to fill the time by just talking without any slides for about an hour. Finally the images came up but the audio did not. I performed my karaoke and tried to smooth things over. But it was a tiring, nerve wrecking two and a half hours was.

Dr. Emoto moved from Mexico to Colombia on the 23rd of March. He will be staying there until the 30th. His schedule continues to be very busy. Therefore, his assistant will share some of his photographs and comments for now.

The very first on the list in my schedule at Colombia was a breakfast with the first lady.
She’s looking at the Children’s version of Message from Water.
She was a very charming person.
The person on the right is Dr. Santiago, a person that made this breakfast a reality.
He also is the president’s family doctor.

The people were all friendly and the city was safe.
It was completely different from what the Japanese foreign ministry had reported.
Their report must be over five years old.

I had numerous media interviews including TV and radio stations this time around too.
One of the interviews was a one hour live TV program.
The middle is Mr. Muramatsu, he’s been living in Colombia for 42 years.

Rasmus from our Lichtenstein lab, who speaks Spanish, was doing some interviews as well.
I was impressed by his Spanish

There were about 1100 people that came to the seminar on the night of the 25th.

At the end of the seminar, we all chanted the Grand Invocation in Japanese while we prayed for the world peace.

The seminar ended with a standing ovation.

on the 26th, we went to visit the water source with about 30 people from the waterworks department

I was given a chance to lead a water ceremony there.

Please allow me to introduce some photographs and comments on behalf of Dr. Emoto. The following photographs are from the Children’s World Water Forum that was organized by UNESCO on March 20th and some sightseeing trips in Mexico.

At the Children’s World Water Forum sponsored by UNESCO held at the Mexico Olympic memorial stadium on the 20th of March.


There were about 100 children from all over the world that had participated.


There were seven children from Japan as well.


After the children’s forum, we went to the pyramid.
The very first sight seeing during this trip


Acting foolish again.


With everyone. From left: Mexico’s Hado instructor, Antonio, Michiko Hayashi, me, my wife, Antonio’s wife, and IHM president, Hazaka

Many people were climbing to the top. We all tried to go up but had to give up because of the amount of people there.


Besides the Sun pyramid, there was also the Moon pyramid. There was a lot of people there too. Tomorrow is the spring equinox holiday so there will be about 600,000 visitors then.


After the pyramid sightseeing, Antonio invited all of us to a delicious seafood restaurant. The middle is Chieko Takenishi, a volunteer translator that helped us throughout this stay.

Once we walked out of the restaurant, we realized that the street number of the restaurant was 330, same as my wife’s birthday, March 30th. We were all surprised especially because we had just cerebrated her early birthday at that restaurant.

After taking the earlier photograph, we looked over to the restaurant next door and was surprised again. The restaurant sign of the eagle feathers in a circle was the family symbol of the Emoto family as well.

Mr. Hazaka brought this beautiful crystal as a souvenir from the pyramid for me. It is the shape of two pyramids put together. This was exactly the shape that I always thought was the proper shape of a water crystal. I would like to use this during my next seminar.

Last night on the 18th was an ordinary seminar from eight that night. Today, I had a long seminar (four hours) from 5:30pm at the world trade center. There were about 600 people at the seminar on the 18th and about 60 people at the long seminar today.

I had the seminar at the same place last time I visited the country in November when there were about 1200 people that came to hear me. I was surprised to see so many people at that time. It must have been that many people had just saw the movie What the Bleep and there was somewhat of a buzz for the movie at that time.

When I think about the entrance fee, I’m more surprised with the number of people that came. The ordinary seminar was 500 peso (about US$50) and the long seminar was 1300 peso. In Japan, the usual seminar is about 2000 to 3000 JPN yen so it’s a lot more expensive here. I wonder if this means that Mexico’s economy is getting better.

This time, for the seminars in Mexico, I brought a video tape of water crystal that heard Mexico’s national anthem. Thus, I was able to show people how the crystal grows as the music is playing. The visual and the music is so beautiful that I don’t think you have to be Mexican to be moved by this.

I decided to show this before my talk today. Once that came up on the screen, everyone stood up and watched the crystal grow. When that was finished, there was a big round of applause. I was very moved by this.

Everybody stood up for the national anthem. A touching moment.

Actually, I also brought a similar film with the Japanese anthem but since there were no Japanese people in the audience, I did not show it. However, even if I showed this in Japan, it’s sad to admit that I don’t think many people will stand up or give round of applause.

With the excitement of the day before still lingering, I started my rounds of interview from early the next day at different radio, tv, and newspaper stations that Claudio had planned.

With the beautiful host of a TV program after the interview.

This busy schedule kept on going until the 19th when the workshop was planned. Including some of the interviews at the hotel, the interview totaled about 15. Claudio is very good at utilizing the media.

From 7 o’clock on the 17th was the main event, the hour and a half seminar at the Water Forum.

First, a room for about 50 to 60 people was prepared but that became a room for about 100, then to a room for about 400. The administrative people said it was because there were more inquiries about my seminar then they expected.

However, in the end there were about 120 people. I think there was a little problem with the fact that it was from 7pm. As I have mentioned, not many local people had the chance to attend. And most of the inquiries were apparently from these people.

Of course number does not matter as much for me. I believe that the important thing was that I was given a chance to attend and speak at the World Water Forum that is only held once in three years. This is what I said:

“Three years ago, I had a chance to speak at the 3rd World Water Forum in Kyoto as well. However, that day was the 21st of March, a day that the Iraq war had started. Because of this, the media was all interested in the news of the war that was showing on the big screen TV and the interest of the Water Forum was wiped away. Just about a month prior to this, my first grandson was born. I became very worried when I thought about his future. Ever since that forum, I started to clearly think about peace as I traveled throughout the world.

Three years had passed since then and now I am standing in front of you at the Water Forum again. However, there was another news yesterday that the American military had issued one of the biggest attack on the anti-government force. Just as if they are mocking this gathering that the people from all over the world had gathered in hopes of peace through water. I just don’t understand why such destruction had to happen.

I have repeated myself at different places, at different times: that we are all water, all existence depends on water. The natural characteristic of water is vibration and resonance, and therefore, love and thanks. In order to let the children throughout the world know, I am distributing free copies of children’s version of Message from Water to 650 million children all over the world within the next ten years.” I said to wrap up the seminar.

Of course, I received a big round of applause from the audience there but I was discouraged by the news of Iraq’s situation. I left the venue that day telling myself that I will work hard for another three years until the next Water Forum and come back to check on the peace level of the world again.

As my assistant, Ms. Ichise has written, the last one week was very hectic. We flew out of Cairo in the afternoon of the 14th and was past nine that night when we arrived at a hotel in Frankfurt. The next morning’s flight was at 9:30 am, a 11 and a half hour flight to Houston. There also is a direct flight from Frankfurt to Mexico City but that flight was full so we had to make a stopover at Houston. However, the Continental flight that we were to take was two hours delayed because of a mechanical problem so we had to wait for five hours in total at the airport before we can fly for another 2.5 hours to Mexico City. By the time we arrived at the hotel in Mexico City, it was past 11 at night. So it was the total of about 20 hours trip to Mexico City,

The next day, on the 16th, the opening ceremony of the Forum was held at 11 in the morning. I listen to the speech be the crown prince of Japan anxiously.

There were media from all over the world


A word by the crown prince of Japan

There was something different about being able to hear the prince speak overseas. I was moved and felt proud. He spoke in English but he sounded confident, it was a great experience for me.

There were number of other prominent people that spoke there as well. However, the unfortunate thing was that since the security was so tight and the entrance fee so high (about US$300), and the process to obtain the entrance permit is such a hassle that it was not possible for most of the local people to participate in this event. I felt that this situation somewhat portrays the bigger problem of our society since this event was supposed to address water, a representation of peace.

After that we went to the Chapultepec Park that was located about 10 minutes away.

Many native people of the land, the Hopi people from Arizona, local people, visitors, and media gathered in front of the ancient monument as seen in the photograph and had performances of dances, songs, and music.

An interview right after the ceremony

I had already written about the reason why I went there in my 2005, Oct. 22nd diary as well as 2006, March 6th diary. Please also see a notice that was sent to people from the secretary general of the Project of Love and Thanks to Water.

A HISTORIC HOPI - AZTECA DANCE CEREMONY
Celebrating WATER

12:00 Noon
Thursday March 16th

NEAR ANTHROPOLOGY MUSEUM
CHAPULTEPEC PARK
MEXICO CITY
--------------------------------------------------------------------

The Mexicas, the Otomies, the Teotihuacanos, dancers from Amatlan de
Quetzalcoatl, Mazahua Women, traditional dance groups from
Tenochtitlan (Mexico City) will be present to receive, in a
ceremonial manner, the Hopi runners who bring the message of RESPECT
FOR WATER AND LIFE to the 4th World Water Forum.

The Hopi have collected water from all over the world to bring to
Mexico on the run. The water will be handed over ceremonially to
native women who are water keepers in Mexico.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
A COMING TOGETHER OF MANY CULTURES IN RESPECT FOR WATER
>AND LIFE

CHAPULTEPEC PARK ON MARCH 16th

AZTEC DANCES BEGIN AT 11:00 am
WATER CEREMONY AT 12:00 noon

In front of Chalchihuitlicue
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Because of its genuine spirit of love and gratitude recognizing
WATER as the very essence of life itself , this gathering has
brought together like minded people from all round the world. The
powerful intent and heartfelt message of this prayer will be
magnified by the presence of Dr. Masaru Emoto who has gifted the
world with a clear and proven understanding that water not only
responds to our thoughts and prayers but transforms into crystaline
jewels that restore and heal.

We are asking people wordlwide to Join the runners, the traditional
dancers, Dr. Emoto and all those present in a PRAYER OF GRATITUDE
FOR WATER. As we focus our intent simultaneously worldwide we know
every drop of water will shimmer with joy.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS PEOPLE OF ALL CULTURES HAVE HONORED
>WATER
--------------------------------------------------------------------

The hosting dance groups have followed the traditional ways of their
people and will be coming from four states to receive the HOPI and
bring their songs, their dances and their offerings to the Water
deity TLALOC's. They want the Hopi runners and their elders to have
a proper welcoming and to make sure the Water is received in a
sacred manner by the traditional Mexicans. It has now become part of
the oral history of the Mexicas - that when Ruben Saufkie Sr.,
coordinator of the HOPI run, was recently in Mexico he was invited
to speak at the circle of dance of the Mexicas. He spoke his words
of the intent and reason for the Hopi run and all received him with
open hearts, it started to sprinkle and then a light rain blessed
the whole group and the flowers after the dance. It happened only
in that area of the city and exactly in the middle of the year's dry
season. This was a sign to all that this run was very important and
the spirits of water wanted all to assist the HOPI in their
endeavors. Seasoned runners from the Peace and Dignity run and from
the Cuauhtemoc run have also offered their assistance and support.
The traditional dance group Xolalpan Teopanacazco from Teotihuacan
as well as many other groups from the Azteca - Mexica - Teotihuacana
and Otomi traditions have offered to ceremonially receive the HOPI
runners, their elders and eagle dancers and their Spirit of Water
message in front of Tlaloc at the Museum of Anthropology in Mexico
City on March 16th at Noon. Dancing starts at 11:00

Many cultures will be present that day and others will be joining
the intent from around the globe so that simultaneously we can
celebrate the gift that water is and that we, as water, are
collectively. Each one expressing their own heartfelt message of
gratitude, prayer and respect towards the Spirit that is Life
itself, WATER.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

As you read above, our Representative Dr. Masaru Emoto has been
invited to the Water Ceremony, which will be held at noon on Thursday,
March 16 (Mexico Time). He is also asked to lead the Prayer for Water,
which we have been using in our Ceremony to Send Love and Thanks to
Water.

Water, We Love You.
Water, We Thank You.
Water, We Respect You.

If you could send the energy of Love and Thanks to the place of this
Ceremony (Chapultepec Park in Mexico City) held by the Hopi, Azteca,
Otomies, Teotihuacanos, it would be greatly appreciated

**********

With this background, when I arrived at the site, everyone welcomed me with applause and cheers. The ceremony went along very well. At the end, I was given a chance to express our gratitude to water. This is what I said:

“I had just come from Egypt. The people there resonated with my water crystals as well. There, I found out for the first time that water in Arabic is maya. In this country as well, there are pyramids and there was a Mayan era. It seems that water is spreading throughout the world as a semiconductor.

Now, let us all say this in unison:

Agua te amamos (water we love you)
Agua te las gracias (water we thank you)
Agua te respectamos (water we respect you)”

I read the note that I had in Spanish as we repeated these words three times. As the ceremony neared its end, the music and songs became louder. At that moment, someone started to shout as he pointed to the sky.
“Look, an eagle!!”

(this is an image)

We all looked up and saw a graceful eagle slowly circling above us. It circle above us about six times and flew away towards the western sky. To me, it seemed to be supporting our ceremony from the sky and was making sure that it will let the god in the sky know of our prayers. I was moved by this happening and could not stop the tears from filling up my eyes. Somebody was saying, “this is a miracle, you never see an eagle in the middle of Mexico City!”

One of the first gatherings of this kind in the recent history between numbers of American native tribes was catalyzed by water. Today will be a very memorable day in that sense. I believe that this day has marked the day that the native people have come together to share the knowledge and wisdom of their ancestors to the others that may have been a little too secularized these days. Today was also that day that I promised myself that I will help out in any way I can to bring the different tribes of the land together as a water missionary.

I would like to express my awe and appreciation for Ruben who successfully ran all the way from Arizona to Mexico City. Also, to Vernon and all the other elders and supporters of the run, thank you very much.

This is an assistant to Dr. Emoto, writing on behalf of him. Dr. Emoto was received very well at the Fourth World Water Forum that is being held at Mexico city currently. You may have heard about this forum through media but people like the crown prince of Japan has spoken at the same event. Since Dr. Emoto’s schedule is very tight and busy, he does not have the time to write in this diary for a while. Thus, we wanted to at least share some of the photographs with some short comments for now.

An interview right after the ceremony

at the lobby of a newspaper office for an interview　

I need some goofiness in between the usual crazy schedule.
The book I have in hand is the Spanish version of “The Hidden Message in Water” it’s selling pretty well in Mexico

At the hotel that we stayed. Since there were many important people from all over the world staying, the security was very tight in case of a terrorist threat.


After a TV interview with a beautiful interviewer.






Everyone stood up when they saw the footage of Mexico’s national anthem.
It was a moving moment.

Because of the snow storm, Munich airport closed for about an hour on March 10th and my Frankfurt flight was about two hours late. I was to meet up with my wife who was visiting our daughter that lives in Amsterdam at Frankfurt and fly together to Cairo. However, by the time I arrived at the airport, it was only 15 minutes before our flight to Cairo was to fly off. My wife did not know what to do and was standing by the gate looking all lost. When she saw me trotting up, she was yelling and calling me out loud, just like a little girl. I guess god saved me again.

After the four days of my very first visit to the Arab world, as a conclusion, I think I was able to gain a lot.

This trip to Egypt was planned by this man in the photograph above, Dr. Karim. He was a professor at the Cairo University specializing in geometry. I was introduced to him through Rasmus’s father last year when he came to visit our lab in Liechtenstein. For those of you who do not know, Rasmus is the researcher at our lab there. Dr. Karim is a very friendly and warm person and is a well-known person in Egypt. He has recognized the importance in the water crystal and we are working together in looking into devices that will block the EMFs.

My first sighting of the Nile River showed an unexpected feature. I was not expected it to be situated in the middle of a big city and the width was not as wide as I had imagined. Still there were many cargo ships and large commercial boats that it reminded me of the Danube River. And thanks to this huge river, such a great city can be created in the middle of the desert. It reminds me of the importance and the powerfulness of water.

This is a photograph we took with Dr. and Mrs. Karim in front of the seminar venue on March 11th. That day, many people and media came to hear me speak. They had all received an invitation from Dr. Karim.

This is while I was giving the seminar. I conducted this seminar in English and Dr. Karim translated it into Arabic. Every time I give a seminar in English, I am embarrassed by my English skill. I think there will be increasing instances that I will be required to speak English so I need to study it a little more.

Rasmus’s father is sitting in the first row on the left.

There were so many people that some people had to stand. The one sitting on the left of the middle is the publisher of Message from Water vol. 3 in Arabic, Mr. Haad. The on his right, I was told, is a famous spiritual leader in that area. The media that came to cover the story asked for his comment on my presentation afterwards.

The one on the very right in the front is Rasmus from the lab in Liechtenstein. I had the impression that many people that were there had high understanding of what I had shared that day.

The next day I was invited to a live TV show. It was a 2.5 hours Saudi Arabian TV show. I was on the show for about an hour and finished at around 11:30 that night. It was a tiring day.

The next day, on the 13th, I was invited to appear at a Egyptian public broadcasting live show from 10pm. The 30minutes appearance went by very quickly with the beautiful and intelligent host of the show.

After the three busy days, we were finally able to have some time for sightseeing on the last day. My wife and I went to see the pyramids. My wife enjoyed the camel right for about ten minutes but I just got on to take a picture and made sure I was safe on the ground right after that. But don’t I look good on the camel. Doesn’t this remind you of the “Laurence of the Arabia”?

Being a little foolish. Am I the same everywhere?

My wife cautiously riding the camel

But she got used to it in no time. Isn’t she young?

I had the impression that the Sphinx would be in pairs just like the shrine dogs but there was only one. I can’t think of any other purpose than it being the guard statue of the king’s precious tomb. If that’s the case, then it seems to make sense that there once was another one to make a pair. I asked around at the site but nobody had heard such a thing. If anybody knows otherwise, please let me know.

As I have shared, my very first trip to Egypt was a lot of fun and enriching. It was all thanks to Dr. Karim. I am confident now that the Arabic culture and religious view do not contradict my explanation of water crystals at all. It means a lot to me that the people here had taken in the water crystals full heartedly. I have a feeling that I will be visiting this part of the world more often from now on.

At the beginning of April, the Arabic version of Message from Water vol. 3 will be published so depending on how people receive this book, I may want to visit Saudi Arabia within this year.

When I arrived at Munich Airport at the late night of March 6th, the place was all blanketed by snow.

the place was covered by snow (the Munich Central train station)

Even though it was late at night, Conrad, the founder of Koha publishing, and a good friend of mine came to pick us up. According to him, there has been a record amount of snow throughout the country this year. The snow is affecting the south, more than the north, as the city itself received a meter of snow about three weeks ago. And the snow has started to fall again two days prior. I told him that Japan is receiving a record amount of snow than usual as well. This change in climate may be a hint in to the start of something quiet but eerie.

The next day I had a series of meetings and interviews from the morning. Among these, I came across two noteworthy information. I would like to introduce one of these here today.

Playing music with stone instrument
First, please look at the picture below.

Klaus Fessmann a apporté un instrument lourd en pierre de Salzbourg

The stone is carved in a similar shape as a harp and by stroking its surface; a beautiful overtone sound comes out. The bowl that you see on the left side of the photograph is filled with water. In order to let the sound come out, you need to keep wetting your hands with the water to make the sound come out. And depending on the quality of water, it can create different quality of sound.

The person playing this instrument is Mr. Klaus Fessmann. He teaches piano at a music college at Salzburg. He came across the instrument one day and now spends more time playing this instrument than playing piano. I was told that he uses a stone as big as one meter high when he has a performance. He also told me that the more he yearns for the ultimate sound, the more he realizes the deepness of it and the farther it seems from getting to the bottom of its complexity. He left me three CDs of his music so that we can let water listen to this and take crystal photograph of it.

I always had the feeling that I will be researching about stone (and intention) in the future so I sent off the CD to the lab in Japan for an experiment right away. In a way, the fact that the stone does not create any sound without putting water on it goes along with my theory that water is the only substance that transports vibration.

I am off for another month long around the world trip starting from today, March 6th. I will be visiting Germany, Egypt, Mexico, Colombia and Puerto Rico this time. Each of these visits has a special meaning for me and I am a little nervous.

First of all, in Germany, the movie “What the Bleep Do We Know” had been shown in theaters since the end of last year. Just as in the US, the movie is making a buzz in Germany as well. For this reason, I will be appearing for a short seminar and Q&A at a movie theater in Rosenheim, a city in the outskirt of Munich, as well as at the theater in the port city of Hamburg. That had been scheduled on the 8th and 9th of March.

Then I will be in Egypt from the 10th till the 14th where I will be conducting the very first seminar in Arabic world as well as an appearance on a television program. I was invited there by a retired professor of Cairo University, a Dr. Karim. Along with that, the Message from Water vol. 3 had just been published in Arabic so I am curious to know how the water crystals and their message will speak to the Arabic world. In a grander way, I feel that the receptivity of the water crystals may indicate the possibility of peace in the world. This thought makes me nervous.

On the 15th, I will fly over the Pacific to Mexico in order to speak at the Fourth World Water Forum (March 16th to 22nd). I was able to speak at the last World Water Forum in Kyoto as well but that was because I applied to speak there as part of the public. However, this time in Mexico, I received a proper invitation to speak from the administration of the World Water Forum. I believe our imperial prince will be attending the forum as well.

I will be speaking for about an hour and a half from 7pm on the 17th but I will have a simultaneous interpreter in both English and Spanish. This is a new experience for me as well so I’m excited about this as well.

On the 20th, I was given an opportunity to speak for about an hour at the children’s Water Forum that the UNESCO is organizing.

On top of that, I was asked to lead a water ceremony for the Hopi runners that would have ran all the way from Arizona to Mexico City (about 3000 Km) while receiving different types of water sent from all over the world. The ceremony will be held on the 16th, the same day as the opening of the World Water Forum.

After a few seminars in Mexico, I will be visiting Colombia for the first time. I received this chance with the invitation of a doctor named Julio, whom I met at a seminar in Miami last year. Because one of his friends is the personal medical doctor of the president of the country, I was fortunate enough to receive an invitation for breakfast from the first lady. I may have a chance to meet President Uribe as well. If this becomes a reality, if a leader of a country will meet me, we may be able to say that the world is seriously starting to think about water.

In regards to this, I went to visit the Colombian embassy in Tokyo the other day. We were invited to visit by the Ambassador, Francisco Jose Sierra. The ambassador explained the current situation of the country thoroughly and was able to relieve all the insecurities my wife had about the safety of the place. I received an impression that the safety warnings that Japanese foreign ministry is showing about this country is somewhat outdated.

And after Colombia will be Puerto Rico. This seminar was arranged by Carmen who became a Hado Instructor at our second session. As more people become Hado Instructors, there will be more events like this and I may be busier than ever. But this business is what I have been waiting for so it should become a healing for me. I will be having a series of nervous travels throughout Egypt, Mexico, and then Colombia so I’m hoping I can relax in the end at Puerto Rico with a beer.
