Thank you for talking with me
at the library during your DVD watching.
Dear Uncle,
I've been struggling in landing a job as baker.
It is so hard to find any job in Vancouver without a work permit nor a permanet resident card.
When I was a small girl, living and working in Vancouver was a big dream because my relatives talked about Uncle Kato and Kayo-chan---one of my female cousins---who were deeply engrossed in the western culture and enjoying the western lifestyle.
I envied those who had immigrated to Canada.
In a sense, my dream has come true since I'm now staying with a Japanese-Canadian family in North Vancouver.
The other day, I visited a Jewish bagelery in Vancouver.

I liked this particular bagel shop which I came across while searching by GOOGLE in Japan simply because the bagels looked quite anthentic and attractive.
The owner-operator is a friendly and considerate lady, who phoned me because I had submitted my resume online.

Although my English seemed to sound somewhat Greek, she showed a great interest in my resume and appeared kind enough to listen to me attentively.
After all, however, she kindly advised me to get an immigrant visa first.
She also suggested that I might as well find a prospective employer who would sponsor me.
In any case, an old saying---Easier said than done---holds true.
I really face the music.

The road ahead of me seems rough and tough.
Like the above video, however, I try to face the music and dance as a positive and happy-go-lucky thinker.
Thank you, again, for your time and kindness.

Dear Mayumi,
Once upon a time,
an old wise man said:
After pleasure comes pain.
There is no pleasure without pain.
Sweet is pleasure after pain.
There is no rose without a thorn.
No pains, no gains.
Every cloud has a silver lining.

So, don't be discouraged even if you feel miserable with a ton of difficulties.
The old man also said:
"Where there is a will, there is a way."
By the way, when you came to see me at the library,
I was watching a German movie titled as “M”.
