She is just a great person!
Don't let her fool you with her English either. She does very well!
I did really good with my Japanese too! Bought a little coaster to put together and gee, wouldn't you know it, all the directions were in Japanese! lol But, the lady at the shop, she explained how to make them and I pretty much understood all of it!
I'd love to meet up with Panda again. I had a good time with her and I hope she had a good time too! Even if she did ask for a Japanese menu in an American Restaurant. lol
