Re: Japanese prof behaviour

Dear Tsuchikawa,

        I am TRULY sorry to have used the abbreviation JAP. I did not
realise that such an usage constitutes an offensive meaning. It was meant to
be an abbreviation. I have corrected it now. As I have said the Japanese
professor, which I mentioned, has now become a close friend of mine. I am
also critical of Vietnamese professors and indeed any other professors who
look down at students.
