My English is Good!

Because I had the day off today while the members my family were all at school or work, I took the rare opportunity to go Christmas shopping alone in Kokura. It was very peaceful and relaxing to shop unaccompanied for a change. At one point, I became so involved in my browsing that I almost ran into another foreigner (literally). When I told him, "Excuse me," he said, "Wow, you're English is good!" I responded with a smile, saying, "Thank you. I've been trying to learn the language for 31 years now, so that really means a lot to me." He felt pretty foolish and profusely apologized. ...I so love doing stuff like that.
