English
It goes without saying that I enjoy studying English.
It’s almost 30 years since then, after going to the first oversea trip in Thailand.
I felt inspired to speak English at all.
It’s quite useful in overseas.
How many years have you been studying?
I would say 30 years at least.
What do you do for a living?
I’m an old hand at building a house.
day job
I teach young guys how to get the license to practice architecture at school.
What field are you in?
What's it like to work there?
I love it, it's challenging and everyday there's something new.
Workin' hard or hardly workin'?
At this time of year
Autumn is "time of harvest".
So, Autumn is a perfect season to have a good appetite.
But as for me, "all year long".
Covid-19
There has been some confusion on the way.
The situation is changing for the better.
I hope things will change for the better.
