アンケートの答え/answers to your survey questions

Hello!



How are you? Today, I will answer some of your questions about me on your surveys.

When did I come to Japan? 
Many of you asked me when I came to Japan. Well, I first came here in 1981 in the U.S. Navy. Yes! I was in the navy (海軍)! I joined the navy when I finished high school in 1980. I was in the Navy for five (5) years, and I spent two (2) years here - in Yokosuka, from 1981 to 1983. (Maybe your parents were in high school, junior high school, or maybe even in elementary school, when I was here then!)

I liked it here, and I said if I had a chance to come back here I would. So in 1997, I had a chance to come back here. I have now lived here for 18 years! 

Am I married? 
Many of you asked if I was married. Yes I am! I've been married now for 11 years to a great and wonderful woman. Some of you also asked what her name is. Well, her name is Aika (愛香). I would like to show you her picture - but she doesn't like me to post her pictures on my blog. (I'll show you her picture in class sometime!)

Can I speak Japanese? 
ん・・・まだへた思う、日常会話大丈夫ですけど・・・簡単な話題、いろいろなことできる、でも困難なことが難しい。簡単メール、Facebookメッセージするできるでもエッセイのことできないですね。「例えば:このブログのAbout me「私について」下のプロフィールの書き、いつか文書、節を書いて助けを借りなければならかった!」それで、日本語の書き、作文をまだ習う・・・m(_ _)m
