As a new arrival myself, I wish you a warm welcome and hope your newest attempt will hold. :)
I can only imagine that the Italian guy, was appalled at the state of the “lift” and how he was so angry at the hotel management for endangering a poor tourist child. ;)
@Jason I was planning on picking up textfugu on the New Year’s day anyways and the sale was a pleasant surprise. That’s a cost of a regular textbook! I too hope you will reach your goal sooner than later. :) I actually wouldn’t mind reading some light novels that never made it to the English side myself. Reading off the screen is really not my thing.
@winterpromise31 I think that having a specific goal is better than having an ambiguous one.
