Name and Addresses
1.Are feelings, emotions and facial expressions universal across borders, happy, sad, etc..?
Yes, they are. When people feel happy, they smile but when they feel sad, they cry or frown. There might be difference of expressions of feelings between different countries but I think feeling, emotions are common and these can cross the world.

I want to say なつかしい in English sometime and try to translate it into English but I can not find English word. I think it is the one of Japanese special feeling.
