Tsune received a thank-you email from an American I guided through Sawara's “Great Autumn Festival,” so I'd like to share it.New!!
Hello Tsune-san! Hope you're doing well. I'm back in California, just arrived earlier today. I can't stop thinking about how much fun seeing the Sawara festival with you was! I already told all of my classmates in Japanese class about your guide association 😁I also spent a lovely day in Choshi, luckily, it wasn't raining that day. (But it was a bit empty... I wonder if Sawara pulled most of the visitors!) I'd love to send you a postcard from California, if this is something that you might want. If yes, please let me know your address. Either way, I had an absolutely fantastic time and I can't thank you […]
