Hi and Welcome!

Thank you

Hello, and a very warm welcome to Tortoise Forum to you and the lovely Ume and Sakura.
I worked at a Japanese school here for a bit (teaching English) and the school was called "Sakura".
Cherry blossom ? With a deeper meaning in the culture ?
And the other one would thus be plum blossom. (had to google that, though).
Beautiful names.

Hi Tidgy's Dad!
Wow! I live in Tokyo.
Did you go to Tokyo?
I wish that the stay in Japan was good experience for you.
Sakura means cherry blossom, spring, and passing an exam in Japan.
Ume is Japanese apricot blossom!
Both blossom are very beautiful.
We really appreciate your praise!

Oh, I see!
I'd like to learn English for you, too
If you come to Japan, please call out to me!
Was the stay in Korea good?
I have not been to Korea, but I like kimchi very much.

Yes, I loved Korea very much.
I will certainly give you a shout when I visit Japan.
And kimchi is yummy.
