月曜日10月8日 ~ “I’M HOME!” ~ in some ways it really does feel that way

Robin

 
Everyday I am visiting (re-visiting) places that I haven’t been for several years. . .

The other day I went to Odaiba where my friend threw a ‘surprise picnic’ for me - very sweet - thank you Juju! Yes, there are a lot of new shops and stores and restaurants, and yes it was fairly busy with many people (like it always used to be) but the biggest shock (as such) is seeing how many more foreigners there are here now!

Before (10 years ago) when I passed someone in the street there was a nod or a wave or a ‘Hello’ but now there are so many more foreigners, so I would be constantly be saying “Hello” all the time if I did that!

Relating to that, now is so much easier for you to go out and practice your English ~ just by using simple greetings and a compliment now and again will be very good practice for you and will make someone happy at the same time!! Constantly doing this will help you a lot ~ so do fit these things into your daily life, as it will show you that speaking English really is easy and you do it well...!

See you tomorrow ~
