I have a dream that I run an english cafe in Nagano Prefecture.


So I need to improve my speaking skill as soon as possible.


My boyfriend suggests me to work for a hotel my Australian runs.


But if I work there, I have to come and leave Japan every 6 months because she runs the hotel only during winter and she has another hotel in Australia too.


All staffs move with her the season is changed.


I told my American friend about it. he asked me to come to America.


His grandmother has a cafe and he says I should work there.


It would be great offering but I cannot make my mind yet.


If I were the 20s, I would go to US without hesitating.


I have present job and love living in Nagano Prefecture especially winter.


All allians visit here is kind of people who are interested in Japan you know?


They are quite friendly and it makes me relax to talk with them.


But in America there must be various types of people there.


not all of them like Japan.


I can learn english in Japan enough?

Yesterday two Australians came to our DIY shop to buy some our products.


I had some opportunities to talk with them in english when I was scanning out goods they wanna buy.


I said to the guys I am an information clerk, if they need my help, please come to the service counter.


Well they started asking me about a pizza metal plate.


unfortunately we don't have the product so I suggested them to buy it on net.


They gave me their business card. I sent an e-mails attached a website address for them in this morning.


I wonder they could find better one on the web....


There are many Australians in Hakuba village.


I have an Australian friend who runs a hotel there and I stayed there with a female friend whom I met in an english online school in this time.


Because 90% guests in the hotel are Australians and a few staffs speak Japanese but not always they are there .


The Japanese friend and I are pre-advanced level in the online school.


We thought this was great chance for us to make sure our level. I mean we could know our english is available or not there.


Everything was great and we could overcame everything at the hotel.


The friend of mine wanted me to speak english as much as we possible, we had chat in english outside too.


When we dropped by a soba restaurant in front of Zenko temple in Nagano city, the staff discussed who serve us because they thought we were allians.


As they believed we are foreingners, they spoke Japanese loudly. They might have thought we didn't understand Japanese at all.:)


They were saying like this. " you graduated from school recently. you should speak with them!"

"No I cannot" " Then you should go!"


But when I wanted to go to a bathroom, I asked them "where a toilet is? toilet. toilet."

then oldest staff answered 右!


very funny huh?


anyway only if I have some friends who speak english around my house! then I can go to the bar every weekend. my english would improve dramatically!


Ah it takes about only 40 minutes to get there. I am wondering I should be regular guest in the bar during winter:)
