Hi, Columbine. I’m sorry! I had thought you lived in the US.

Eventually she came to dinner when she was in the UK, though, so it worked out in the end![/QUOTE
It must have been great confusion of your friend.
I’m relieved to hear it worked out in the end.

Mmmm, the mont blanc looks delicious! ;__; I want some Japanese sweets now.
Actually, the mont blanc and other sweets in the picture were not Japanese confectionery. They are called “yougashi 洋菓子(ようがし)” =western confectionery. “洋” is from“西洋(せいよう)”.

Japanese confectionery is like this picture. I offer Japanese ones when the guests are male.

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.
