It's been a while since I last spoke in English at work, so I was a little nervous and worried, but every0ne of the models were so fluent in Japanese! They were so fluent that they were actually worried about their skill in English more than Japanese.
Anyways, this whole new product idea has been taking my mind back to the older days when I used to live in London. At that time I had no knowledge of English at all, not even the alphabet -- so everyday I learned something new. I remember the first word I learned was "kite" for some reason, I don't remember why :-)
My family and I lived in Edgeware, the suburban area of London. Not a very rich area, but the people whom I met there were all very kind and heart warming. My mom used to walk me to school every day, and every day we would talk to the traffic lady who helped us cross the street safely. She was an old lady, probably in her 60's, very sweet, loving and kind. On the way to school, we would walk a long a stream that lead us through a park and lead us along gardens of homes. I remember the color schemes of the gardens, made of a variety of greens with a flash of pinks and yellows from the flowers. It was a beautiful sight and was fun to walk along every day.
This picture is of the sea shore of Black pool. Very nostalgic and beautiful sight.

Yeah, it is rare to hear you talk about England much anymore. I really enjoy it when you do. You walking with your mom by the park reminded me of the day we walked home from your aunts house, through a park, back to your mom & dad's apartment. It was a very sunny day, and I remmeber feelign so centered and peacfull.
Hello!
I remember that walk through the park too! I think what makes me so peaceful are the sound of the water running down the stream and the color schemes coming together as one.
The park I walked with my mom was a bit more gloomy looking, a little more spiritual looking.
