    Hello~ Senga here!

    Something unexpected happened at the airport in Los Angeles [LAX].

    I called a taxi and had it come to the meeting point,

    but I couldn’t find it at all.

    Ehhh? Where is it?

    Even when I looked at my phone, it said that both of us were at the meeting spot…

    Now, <Let’s challenge English!>

    Even though I was nervous, I called the taxi driver.

    <Where is this?>

    What?

    Panicking, I immediately made a mistake.

    <I’m sorry, I made a mistake.>

    *a swift reply*

    <Where are you?>

    This is the right question.

    Then,

    <I’m at the ¥?!&:/;(¥&@“!;..,&->

    I have no idea what they’re saying.

    I give up.

    For now, just <please wait>.

    I hung up the phone and looked for 15 minutes…

    I couldn’t find it at all.

    I thought that I had no choice but to ask someone.

    There was a man nearby wearing an airport uniform and cool sunglasses,

    so I asked him.

    <Excuse me? I want to go here.>

    Then,

    <The ?;/¥&!&@:: upper floor.>

    I couldn’t really understand the beginning, but “upper floor”?

    Eh? Up?

    Looking closely, there was another road above us.

    <thank you so much!>

    Because of this, it took 40 minutes to meet up.

    I felt bad for making the taxi driver wait and troubled them.

    When I told them I was a Japanese tourist on vacation, they understood.

    There are a lot of warm American people.

    That’s part of what I love.

    Well then.
