A friend of mine and Japan

When a friend of mine, David, came to Japan for the first time, he unwittingly commited a myriad of cultural faux pas and inconvenienced people. Also, since he had't read up on Japanese culture prior to his departure, it took him several months to acclimatise to this country. However, after experiencing loads of cultural snafus, he finally got accustomed to the Japanese lifestyle.

だいたい完璧！

Today's spending (this sounds more like spending money, rather than spending time. maybe "How I spent Today" or "What I Did Today" is more appropriate 

Today, I spent time to study TOEIC TEST. (Today I spent time studying for the TOEIC test)

Write about my home town

I live in Osaka. I was born and bred (and raised) in Osaka.

It's a comfortable town and there are many delicious foods.
For example, There are Takoyaki, Kushi-katsu, Okonomiyaki and so on.
Osaka is said to be the kichen of the country(天下の台所).

The people who live in Osaka are interesting and bright.
There is also Osaka dialect(大阪弁). This shows that the word (way 喋る方法） that Osaka people speak is a little unique  

Please come visit to Osaka. Thank you.

この日記はいいと思います。意味は全部正しいですが、もっとナチュラルになるために、少しだけ変わりました。"and bred"はちょっと変のような気がするから、"and raised"と変化しました。これからも英語頑張って！
