Sorry guys, I've just been jogging before coming here.

It's my daily routine.

Do you come here often?

Do you live in this area?

I haven't seen you for a while.

Not too bad, can't complain.

How's your week going?

　It's going great.

   I just got back from a week at the beach.

   I just got back from 3 days on mountain.

Where'd you go?  (where'd=where did)

   Just hang out at the beach, mostly.

Do you do that every year?

Let me ask you a question

How are you enjoying your staying Japan so far?

Many things are different here.

How do you pronounce your name?

self-introduction

exercise

As you can see my active wear, I have exercise habit.

Swimming in the ocean is as an example.

I'm going for swim to the beach this weekend. 

Once you get into the habit, it's a cinch.

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.
