Hi Ken,

How are you? Are you still in India?
Yesterday, I went to a nice Italian restaurant with my friend. We ate Paeriya.
It was so delicious!
Take care and see you,

Hi Ken,

I'm glad to hear you enjoy your staying India. It should be fantastic and you would
find many rare and great things.

Mt.Evelest sounds so wonderful. Woo, I wanna be with you and climb it.
Tommorow I will go and climb Mt. Moiwa my local area.
Anyway, 28 hours drive is too long! I hope you are not tired and keep your health.

I'm looking forward to seeing your picture of India and also your paeriya!

thanks and take care of yourself,

hi Hansg

just got back to chicgao so I hope i can catch up with the news and everything
-- 198 email I had to answer already.
not much can be said for the roads unless you know where your going and have experience driving in India -- something I will never have the nerve to do.
enjoy your visitor!

Hi Ken,

I'm glad to hear you could reach Chicago without problem.
I wonder you can meet your family now.

Wao, what a long time! Even 7 hours from Japan to Hawaii, I felt it's very long.
Total 33 hours! Woo, Otsukaresama.

I went clibming Mt. Moiwa and was so fun though I had some problem
such as spraining my foot and lost my way.

The photos you mention is the link of Ken's personal pages?
I now access there and saw the photos but I could not find India's pictures but
see Italy's photos.

thanks and see you,

mitch

Hi Ken,

I saw your India's photo from the link! Wao, it's so beautiful and nice!
I didn't know there are such a beautiful scenery in India.
Who's the old lady wearing sally and making maybe chapati?
She has a nice smile, I guess maybe you visited or stayed her home.
Every pictures are so nice! Thank you.

My ancle is still aching but fortunately, I can walk without problem, so It's OK.
The Mt. Moiwa was so nice. I want to take you to there if you can come here.

About my job, I become skilful day by day, however; not a few claimers call
everyday. And I think I have to learn how to correspond to them.
they are kind of crazy people. They say things that do not make sense and
wants more and more. I've never imagined there are a lot of people who
get mad at very small thing.

I'm now reading the books such as " How to chock off monster claimer in five minuts".

thanks and see you,

mitch

Hi Mitch!
im glad you could see some of india pictures. if you can join facebook you can see many others.
its very convienient to upload pictures to them when it works. when i catch up with work next week I wil try to upload more on hawaiifruit.net too.I
must have taken many thousands of photos. The light in INdia is so nice for pictures -- its very different from HaWAII OR JAPAN and warm colored light
all the time. very interesting too. The lady was chopping up jackfruit to make dosa. She is my friends. mother. My friend SHree is journalist and he is editor of a magazine

sure hope your ankle feels better soon. IT MUST BE HARD TO HAVE PAIN while walking all the time.
It woul dbe great if we can clim Mt Moiwa sometime.

Amazing about all these claimers. I guess everyone wants something for nothing or wants to complain. Some people like to complain even if no reason.
It has to be a tough job to deal with them all the time.

take care of yourself!

Hi Ken,

I saw your private message and replied it with my email address.

I had already registered face book and could see all pictures of yours.

Thanks about my ankle, but actually I can walk without pain, so I'm OK.
I just feel ache when I push the part.

I take phone calls from monster claimers almost everyday, but somehow
all English speakers are very kind to me. So I always feel relax when I
talk in English. They are like "Hi ! Mitch -san" " Oh you can call me first name"
some repeaters said to me so.

By the way, I drew a new work after a long time. Oh I forgot to say to you, I finally
completed my novel and applied to the novel prize. It was so long !

thanks and see you,

mitch

hi Mitch
oh beautiful flower picture yuri.jpg.! Its really a great one! I hope you can use it on cover of your novel when it is published and you become best selling author. I hope I can say I knew Mitch before she was famous <G>
i hope you get great news about it. I wish I could read some too. Maybe I have to practice much more kanji!

its interesting about claims and all the calls you have to do but it must be good to have some job now in tough times.

I will go to airport in a few hours then back to hawaii now it is heavy rain in chicago and I am sitting at starbucks having coffee since my mother does not have internet at her apartment. I was glad I could see her here since she is 80. This year she will move to california I think

take care of yourself!

Hi Ken,

Thanks ! If I became a best seller author, I will talk about you at the interview.
I also hope this time I can get a good news.

Today I went to Takino Park to draw blue poppy. It is known as "Hymarayan
Fairy" and very beautiful mountain flower.

I go and draw this flower every year. But I can not draw good one because
the flower's blue is too beautiful. Anyway, please see my new work.

Take care of yourself, maybe Margy is waiting for you!

thanks and see you,

mitch

Hi Mitch

The flower is beautiful!
I never did see them when I was in Himalaya's. Maybe they are from different area.
Anyway it is good to get home and try to catch up with everything. Maybe it will take a month to catch up with everything!
Takino park must be very nice, I hope I can see it someday.

take care for now

Hi Ken,

I'm very tired now after work and at last tommorow is holiday.

Today I corresponded the customer maybe from Korea and speaks in English,
but I often could not get what he said in addition he talked very fast.
He was a good person and never got angry, but his accent was like Korean word,
so it was hard to hear. For example, I heard " Le fan" , I first thought it is a kind of
Korean word, but it was "left hand" he wanted to say.

Woo, tierd so much!

I uploaded the blue poppy pictures, so please see it!

thanks and see you,

mitch

Hi Mitch
the poppy picture is really nice. I never saw the real flower before!
I hope to get time to put some india pictures on my site as well as facebook ones.

It must be difficult to talk with many english accents. I had some trouble with it in India too since
many people talk with British Indian accent and I've used to Hawaiian pigen or chicago accents ( like Margy).
Sometimes I would have to ask my friends to repeat something or spell the word since = letters are the same but
how they are said is so different. Its kind of like
a i u e o but hearing a e yu i ou
very strange but a lot of fun becasye we love to communicate!

take care for now

Hi Ken,

This mornning I went climbing the hill in the park near my home
and met a small snake on the road.

It was so small and brown like wood, so I thought it was just a branch of tree.
Then it moved and I was astonished with it.

Yesterday I went to Chizaki Rose Garden to draw pictures
It was a good and sunny day, so I could enjoy drawing.

I ate fresh hot Asari and Shimeji pizza near the garden, and was so
delicious! I ordered Almond au lait, too and this is my favorite.

I think I could paint a rose well this time, so please see it!

thanks and see you,

mitch
