My mom and our family friends are going to visit me in a couple of weeks. My family and the family who are coming with my mom have been close more than 20 years. We have been talking over LINE about what to do and where to go. As Japanese people always are, their main interest is shopping and shopping. It must be so stressful to deal with their interest, but yes, please spend more money in the US economy!! Also, whenever I drive around my neighborhood in my sales job, I tend to be like "what about this place for them to visit?", "they might like this restaurant!!". It's always fun to imagine how I can surprise her. Because I have been over sea these years such as America, the Silk Road, and Africa, I don't know how people who have not so much traveled around would feel about where I live and what to see. For example, one my favorite food, Mexican food should be super saggy, and American people are so noisy when they speak...
But anyhow, I am eager to please them while they are in LA. I am going to introduce them not only typical sightseeing spots, but also my close friends, company, and where I used to study. I am already proud of that I am surviving in a different country by myself. I am sure that my mom would be impressed not only by LA's weather, but also how I live out every single day in this community. In the super near future, I have a plan to buy them houses, cars, and golf courses, but for now, what I can do is to show them people around me.
"I am now glad that I let him leave us. He is doing great by himself. I want to visit him again as soon as I can maybe to see my grandchild" That's how she would be feeling on her way back to Japan.
Go for it!! Chuji,
