Hi, MMM, Koir. Thank you very much.
I thought a monotheistic religion may have been too strict, but I was wrong.
I’ve learned much from reading your posts. I need to understand your culture to learn English. Your continued support will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you again!


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.
