Dung: * Hi Shimizu:
You said "I want to utilize computer and IT partly but I want to go into
another industry like traveling".

Have you ever think about individual tour guide for local peopin your
place?
You are famous there and your English and Japanese skills are perfect.
Shimizu: oh thanks
Dung: oh, great to hear that
Shimizu: I'm reading the message you put now...
Shimizu: have you chatted with Sam before?
Shimizu: Ah~~~~
Shimizu: Oh yeah, I have though of individual tour guide in NZ before
Shimizu: and put my articabout it on the website of the village I live,
Shimizu: but I didn't get any response from visitors to the website for some reason,
Dung: oh, really?
Shimizu: maybe because the amount of advertisement wasn't enough.
Shimizu: Oh yeah, but I think that's a good idea.
Dung: oh, I see
Shimizu: Next time I come back to NZ, I'll start my IT business again here,
Shimizu: but I could start traveling business at the same time maybe.
Shimizu: And some peophere recommended me to do that, haha.
Dung: yeah, I see no reason for not doing 2 things at the same time
Shimizu: ahah yeah yeah!
Shimizu: I'm excited when I imagine start up the two businesses here!
Shimizu: But I have some things to prepare before that.
Shimizu: Like having an English exam, getting visa, saving money enough to survive at the first phase without profit, getting my own car and so on.
Dung: you are excited, I can image that
Shimizu: ahah yeah yeah
Shimizu:
Shimizu: But these days, I really think I have to improve my English skill to native level.
Dung: ha ha, it is also hard to start a new thing
Dung: but don't let it prevent you
Shimizu: In an English speaking country, it's of course and must to speak English fluently.
Shimizu: Ah yeah, it is quite hard, haha.
Shimizu: Oh OK, I won't hesitate to do that.
Shimizu: If I could speak it at native level, I could keep business relation with much more clients here.
Dung: "won't hesitate" great to hear that from you
Shimizu: I'm not confident of explaining and listening to something complex on the phone to my clients.
Shimizu: So I have diclined four orders from my potential clients since the last month.
Dung: my opinion is
Dung: if you can provide better services
Shimizu: Oh do you feel great?
Shimizu: yeah?
Dung: e.g., price, quality ...
Shimizu: yeah
Dung: they can forget about your non-native speaking
Dung: I think many peopdon't mind to repeat, to explain what they say
Dung: to receive better services
Shimizu: Yeah yeah, I thought so, that's why I started my business here,
Shimizu: but in the case of talking on the phone and having to staying in Japan for a quite long time,
Shimizu: they mind, I think.
Shimizu: Sorry, I want to be refreshed to talk with you with more energy,
Shimizu: but I got workshop in town today that tires me,
Shimizu: so I'll have a shower and then can I talk with you?
Dung: ah, no problem, I think
Shimizu: thanks for understanding.
Shimizu: Talk to you soon.
Dung: It's time for me to have lunch also
Dung: see you
