Introduce yourself, at your option

Native English, I also read slowly, but confidently in Japanese. I've actually resisted reading translations for a long time, but I've grown to appreciate the art and variety that translations are capable of beyond the original language.

Wow, that's great! you can compare and contrast the Japanese original text and the English translation. Hope i could do this some day in the future. Also, yes, translations sometimes are Beyond the original. it's amazing.

Hello everyone—this is my first post. My name is Kai, a Japanese living near Richmond in the UK. I’m both surprised and delighted to see how many people here are interested in Japan. A Japanese neighbour of mine recently published a Kindle book that vividly captures the hurdles Japanese people face when living or investing overseas. I’d love to share it here, and I’d really appreciate your thoughts.

Hey Kai, Welcome! Are you much of a reader as well as a writer? Your book looks like a personal experience? Sounds like a sticky situation. GL!
