Dear K.Margaret,
Thank you for your idea, too. I'm sorry to tell you that it isn't an English-speaking setting thus, I don't have any possibilities to meet a person who speaks English well. (Well, it isn't absolutely true because some of my friends can speak English so-so but it would be very funny if we used it.)
On the other hand I missed the chance for "making friends"

-16 years ago-that you hinted at

since I'm married.
Alice
