I'm glad I took part in the advent calendar
Today was the day I promised to contribute an English text to a community's advent calendar.
Several people read it and commented on it.
I was very happy.
At the same time, I was reminded of the characteristics of my writing.
I have strong assumptions, and this aspect shows in my writing.
I am not able to improve my writing from an objective point of view.
The feedback I received made me realise that there are missing parts in my writing.
I need to put myself in the reader's shoes.
And if I were a reader, I am not sure I would be able to give as kind an impression as the one I received today.
I can't get into people's pockets.

I exchanged messages with a friend overseas for the first time in a long time.
I had exchanged sweets with that friend by post before the Corona disaster.
We were talking about how it would be nice to do that again.
It would be even better if that person came to Japan.
Japan's currency is getting cheaper and there are many delicious foods and beautiful landscapes.
I think now is a good time to come.
But that's just my own opinion.
It would be difficult to come to Japan from Europe.
The plane will take a long way.
I could go out.
I have never been to Europe.
I have always wanted to visit the UK.
Considering my age, I would be physically challenged after another 10 years.
I haven't even been on my honeymoon.
I haven't been on an aeroplane for a long time.
I am torn between saving for retirement and gaining invaluable experience.
