Language Partner Candidate

I met a language exchange partner candidate yesterday.
He looked like serious person unlike some foreigners I met before. He is a diplomat and his work place is very close to mine. So I asked him about Japanese foreign policy because I always think Japan is poor at diplomacy, this topic was difficult for my poor English though. We also talked about atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

When I was a child, there were many TV programs about war every August, but there are few those in recent years. Japan is beginning forgetting war. It's bad thing. But there are many TV programs about war this August because of 60th anniversary of the war's end. I think people must not forget misery of the war.
