Before I go to England, I wanted to have an English friend. I used to make a friendship when I travelled around Japan. I wanted to do same thing but before I travelled. But there is no English around my town. How can I do? Hey, don't forget I'm in the Net world. Use your personal computer. World's going small for me since I've got wired. I tried to find an English friend through the Internet. Before I've got a computer, I liked to write a letter. I have some penpal at the moment. So I searched penpal/keypal website to find an English friend (they have an email address with a nation code "uk", it's easy JUST to find them). When I found them, I send some email messages but not all sent back to me.
Fortunately, one English girl replied. She is a student of Sheffield Uni majoring eastern Asia study. She is very interesting in Japan. That's why she replied me I think. She would be going to Japan while I would go to England.
Another day, I found a message on the list from Liverpool!! Wow, will she help my visit to Liverpool? I wanted to send her. But will she welcome me of a great Beatles fan? Does Liverpudlian still love the Beatles? I was afraid if people in Liverpool would welcome a Beatles fan from all over the world or not.
So I send that Liverpool woman about where to stay. I planned to stay in youth hostel in London. Same as in Liverpool but there was no hostel in Liverpool on a youth hostel guidebook. My first ask to her was "could you tell me about cheap ho(s)tel in Liverpool?". Fortunately She was a kind woman. She told me Liverpool would welcome me!! As we wrote each other, I asked her if I would be able to meet her when I would be in Liverpool. And the answer was YES!! Great, I've got my first Liverpool friend.
