Dear Mr. Robins and friends

Hello. How are you doing? I'm fine, thanks. I really enjoyed the homepage and I miss everyone very much. I felt natsukashii (nostalgic). Here, in the heart of England it is getting cold little by little. 5th Nov was Guy Fawkes Day, I saw many bonfires and fireworks near my house. They were beautiful, but a little noisy...Anyway, I'm enjoying a life in England.

Now, I'm studying "HND (Higher National Diploma) in Travel and Tourism Management" with British students in college. It's very difficult and hard for me, but really interesting(except finance...) I have a lot of assignments until Christmas, I don't know if I can pass them, but I'll do my best. I think this is a good experience to study something in English. It's very different from the English Language Course.

I have visited many places in Britain, and last month, I went to Ireland for 5 days. It was a wonderful trip. Nature, people, pubs and music, food...everything is nice. If I have a chance, I'd like to visit again in summer time.

See you and take care.
