今回は、スノーマン先生の自己紹介にコメントします。
Dear Mr. Snowman,
I've listened to and read your self-introduction on your web site.
I've just known your real name is "Norman Delaney." (Is this "Delaney" all right?) I believed that the family name "Snowman" really existed. Well, I'm just kidding! ;-)
You say that, on your web site, your first visit of Japan was Iwo Jima, where you got interested in and started to study Japanese.
It seems that you returned to USA and graduated the university. And then, you came to live in Asahikawa 16 years ago.
I assume you must have lived in the other places in Japan or other countries. Why did you choose NOVA? Woops, forget it! Why did you choose "Asahikawa, Hokkaido"?
Because of snow? It snows in winter in USA where you lived, doesn't it? Is the snow falling down in Hokkaido such greatly special one?
To tell the truth, I've NEVER visited Hokkaido. However, I heard from my friends once living in Hokkaido that it was a great palce to live in.
I'd like to visit Hokkaido in the near future to enjoy the fairy-tale landscape, and to meet you Mr. Snowman, if possible.
But ... I imagine it seems to be so cold in Hokkaido in winter. It must be an almost unimaginable level for me! (Brrr...)
Well, that's all for today.
See you next weekend! Bye for now.
Best regards,
Hirosuke

この曲をドライブ中にかけると、高3の娘が「これって和田アキ子でしょ?」と本気で言うんです。バカ者~ッ!!(泣)
