Recent Updates

I quit RareJob lessons at the end of August, 2016. It was my 3rd anniversary of taking lessons. I thought it was enough because I am getting older and I don't expect any job opportunity with English related. We don't have any foreign neigbors in the countryside.

I have already uploaded many pictures up to now. I feel it takes me quite a lot of time to upload another pictures, so I started writing another diary.

What I love about my online English lessons.

Online English lessons relives me of loneliness.

1)  I I live in Himeji, Hyogo Prefecture, a countryside in the western part of Japan.

2) My husband leaves our place to work at 6:00 a.m. and comes back around 6:00 p.m. Monday to Friday.

3) Therefore, During the hours, I usually stay home alone most of the time.

4) I feel lonely sometimes.

5) I used to visit a women's office close to Himeji Station every other Friday.

6) The female staff who I met there was very nice because she always listened to me during the 50-minute meeting. 

7) The service is provided by the local municipal office for free women only.

8) I may have been able to meet her more often, such as twice a week, but I did not.

9) After two years of our meetings, the time came when she was ordered to leave the office after completing her 3-year working contract.

10)  I chose to abandon using the service anyfurther when she left the office because our local bus services are not convenient.  

Local bus service schedule
 (leaving my nearest bus stop to Himeji station for weekdays)
6:41, 7:05, 8:18, 8:47, 9:25, 10:39, 11:55, 13:39, 14:55, 16:09, 17:25, 18.28, 19:28, 20:24

(leaving Himeji Station to my nearest bus stop)
6:35, 7:45, 8:00, 8:55, 9:55, 11:25, 12:55, 14:25, 15:25, 16:55, 17:55, 18:55, 19:55, 20:55

11) I used to meet her at the office at 14:00, which meant that I take the 11:55 a.m. and arrive at the station at 12:10. 

12) After killing time to get around shopping centers, I met her at 14:00 and talked until 14:50.

13)  I hurriedly got on the 15:25 bus, and arrived home before 16:00.
  
14)  I feel inconvenient living in a countryside as I used to live in Tokyo metropolitan area where there are many "paper drivers" live becacuse the subway services and Japan Rail way services are excellent. 

15) If I miss catching a train in Tokyo, I didn't have to wait for the next train no more than 5-minute or so.

16) Online English service is excellent for me because there are many tutors who tries to listen to me just like the female staff at the women's office.

17) Not only imploving English skills, but also I can save a lot of time taking the bus services.
