Hello Keiko, Marsy.

Keiko, don’t worry about your English style. I don’t know which style is business like.
You are many chance to communicate with native speaker I suppose. For me, I never had chance to communicate with native speaker but had many chance to talk with Asian people.
Once one HongKong person visited to one of my colleague who lived in U.S. several years and understand English. He called me and said “I don’t understand what HongKong people said.”. Then I interpreted their conversation.

Marsy, yes, this year, I could not go anywhere because of my daughter’s examination even taking vacation.
However, yesterday, I bring my wife to one of English garden. I’m not so interesting garden, but my wife always complain that I never bring her anywhere. English garden is just so, so. I find some hint for my garden. (I’m not interesting flowers and trees but interesting with structure)
On the way back to home, we just drop “Sano Yakuyoke Taishi” and “Hitokotonushi Jinja”. May be no benefit because we visit two places.
