How do you do : Yoko Yamasaki

My name is Yoko Yamasaki.
I live in Sendai City located 220 miles northeast from Tokyo.
The population of Sendai is just around 1 million,and one subway is operated in the city.
Though many foreign people from the various countries live in Sendai, I seldom have the opportunity to converse with them except for those studying Japanese language, and so on.
I lived in Connecticut for 1 year from 1988 to 1989.
After my return to Japan, I have lost English ability rapidly due to few chances to use English.

I well recall how kind many U.S. people were in order to make my stay there pleasant.
Looking at the pictures taken in U.S. I found active look on my face in every picture and thanked again to all the friends.

This time, it seems to be a dream that I can talk to U.S. people by Japanese language, not by my broken English.
While I was in U.S., I failed many times to express my thought correctly due to lack of my English ability.
I very much appreciate everyone who made the language barrier broken down for this project.

Well, I look forward to receiving the answer soon.
