Communication

with those whose first language is English is really hard as I wrote on this blog. However, there do is certain change considering the trip I made last year. i feel people in The States treat me more warmly this time. I came up with 3 possible reasons.
+1.People in the west coast are more kind than that of east coast.
+2.My English has improved, so I can communicate with them more easily.
+3.i changed attitude toward people who i see for the first time. Though last year, I couldn't reply immediately when I was talked to like "How U doing?", this time i can do that immediately. And even trying to say the phrase before they say that.
I guess number 3 is the most likely to be the reason. I gradually get to know the fact those greetings are not so important. I mean "How are you?" or "How U doing"
don't precisely mean "ご機嫌いかがですか？"　They are just phrases. Say something and smile. I guess it is pretty important who lives in The States, especially in hostels like I am using.
