Hi, snbzk.
Yes, exactly! I wanted to say that.
I will be careful to use “just”. I have never thought how to use it. Thank you very much!
Hello, I may not understand English very well and I may lack words but I will try to understand you.
If you have questions about my post or Japanese customs, don't hesitate to ask.
