When I first began speaking Japanese at my restuarant. I would mess up many times and say words wrong.

They looked at me funny and said, "Eh, Nani?" "Would you like KANOJO,"  I asked again.They were really confused and I was getting a little emabarrassed. So, I decided to just say, "Would you like the check." "Oh cheku!" they said.

I joined the "Harmony Circle", which is a choral group in college. This is a group of people who enjoy singing even if they are not good at it. We gather together as a family and sing. The other day, our college had a festival and allowed us a vending space to sell our product. Guess what kind of vender we have? We have "Hayashi Rice" which is unique. It is a challenge to put together something very unusual. Yes, it is true, but the real reason is that he is here,,,,, a man who is into "Hayashi Rice" who dedicated his life to making his most tastiest one!  Am I exaggerating? No. A man whose nickname is  " Arisan".
