She recommended a certain izakaya, which her husband works there as a chef. So we decided to go there. It was replete with chatting, laughing and words such as " irasshaimase", " ○○hairimasu". Yeah, this time of the year is the busiest due to " year-end parties".
Then she gave me some souvenirs, which her colleague went to Philippine on business. He had asked me to translate some documents from Japanese into English through her. He was quoted as saying " tokens of gratitude".
I was willing to take the work, so rather than he expresses gratitude I SHOULD say " Thank you so much!!! I do want to take anything that has to do with English. Let me do!!!"
After spending a few hours, we went a bar. I used to go there when I was a university student. Yes!! in 10 years!!! ( By gosh, you can guess my age...lol lol lol)
It was like an international bar. There were many people due to the weekend. It was fraught with excitement and music. I like the atmosphere.
We sit at the counter and talked and talked including a bartender. Then the bartender gave us some original cocktail at no cost. " Here you are, Ladies." It was lucky!! hehe Yeah, like the bar sometimes we can get!!!
Yeah, of course I enjoyed talking with female, male native speakers. At the time we got to know a male native speaker, who is 20 years old and sit next to us. Even if I was drinking, I tried to talk in English. lol I asked him, " Did you understand what I said?" He said...." Yes! of course, I did. You spoke very well, have you studied abroad? " I know he might have flattered, however, I was so glad. As a English learner, the word encourage me in keeping. ( I'm a simple-minded person....lol lol lol)
Well, the night was so nice and exciting.
