Hello, nice to meet you. My name is Emi Horiguchi. I was born in Hiroshima, and when I was 4 years old, I went to New York. After living there for about 3 and half years, I came back to Japan. I like to travel, and of course I ’ve been to Korea too. I went with my friends. Since it wasn’t a guided tour, we had to look through many guidebooks and maps beforehand, but we could visit wherever we wanted to, so we enjoyed the trip very much. Here is an interesting episode. We were looking for a local restaurant but we couldn ’t find it easily. Well, actually we got lost. We couldn’t speak Korean at all, so we asked a lady the way to the restaurant in English. She was kind enough to show us the way, and we finally reached a delicious meal. I realized that although we can ’t speak each other’s mother tongue, we can communicate with each other by using English as a common language. Let ’s have fun discussing through the TV! I’m still poor at English but I’ll do my best to learn more.
