Gathering with Local People
My father came back from a trip to South Korea. However, we did not exchange a single word. Our relationship has completely broken down. I made an appointment at a dental clinic to have my teeth cleaned. I felt there was a big difference because, in the Netherlands, you cannot usually make an appointment on the same day. I received a thorough cleaning, and the cost was only about €16. It was miraculously cheap. After that, I visited an electronics store and arranged to have my Sony digital camera repaired. I hope it can be repaired at a reasonable price. Then I returned home to pick up some small gifts from South Korea. I visited a bar called Sanaya. It had a nice atmosphere, but I felt uncomfortable because people were smoking. Why is smoking inside bars still allowed in Japan? It feels outdated. Then I moved to another bar called Ajia-tei. I talked with the owner, Oki-san. I gave him a small gift, just as I had given one at Sanaya. I enjoyed the reunion and the pleasant atmosphere. After that, I went to a community center where a gathering for a senior group was being held. I gave Inoue-san some sweets from a convenience store for his 86th birthday. There were about twelve people there, and I talked with many of them. I had a great time, but I got drunk, so time flew by. I fell asleep around 0:30 am as if I had fainted.

- Gathering With Local People My father came back from trip for South Korea. However, we never talking even a word. Our relationship is collapsed. I made an appointment for a dental clinic to get cleaning teeth. I felt big different becaue if you are in The Netherlands, you could not make an appointment in the same day. I got nice cleaning and the cost was only about €16. It is miracurously cheap. After that, I visited an electricity shop and I ordered to fix my SONY digital camera. I hope it would be fixed in a reasonable price. And then I returned my home to get a small gift from South Korea. I visited a bar called Sanaya. It was good atmosphere but I felt uncomfortable for smoking. Why inside of the bar are still allowed smoking in Japan. It must be ancronism. I ,moved to another bar Ajia-tei. I talked the bar owner Oki-san. I gave him a small gift as the same as Sanaya that I did. I enjoyed nice reunion and atmosphere. After that, I went to a community center. It was hold a senior group gathering. I gave a sweet from convinience store to Inoue-san for his 86? birth day. There were about 12 people. I talked a lot.
