That speech is kind of a English community and I met many people who are from different countries. Even I couldn’t understand 100% of their speech it was a good exercise for me to learn English.  From noon to the end, I was participating in the activities.

Two weekends ago I invited some friends to my home for cooking Japanese food. I purchased raw fish from Chinese commericial website called Taobao. Chinese people they don’t have a habit to eat raw fish. So they didn’t want to send the fish with my suggestion. The method to keep the fish more fresh for eating raw I send many short messages to the owner of the shop in order to let them know the method. After some struggle time, they finally understood my method and agreed to send the fish with that method. This is a kind of method to kill the fish and leave the blood. They also like to freeze it but it should not be freezed.
