1.Have you ever eaten in a restaurant in a foreign country? Where? What did you eat? Did you make any mistakes? Please explain your experience.
Yes, I have.
I usually ate in a store of fast food in England.
For example, "Burger King", "KFC" and so on.
But, in London, I ate a Japanese curry and sushi with my friends. It was Japanese food restaurant! No one made mistakes particularly. Of course, that is the reason why we are Japanese:)
2. Did you learn anything?
In a store of fast food in England, I was surprised!! Basically, people must clear the table after they have finished a meal in Japan. But, some people keep putting a tray on a table in a big store of fast food in England.

1. Do you judge people according to what they wear? Why?
I think clothes is related to first impression. For example, all people wear a suit when job hunting.

I'm wearing a sweater, a skirt, and tights now.
Yes, they are.
This sweater is new, so I feel happy.
Favorite or new clothes make me happy.
