I used to go to an English conversation school, "ESS" (English Speaking Square), from October 1993 to 1999 in Osaka city. I bought a digital camera in 1998 and took a lot of pictures of the parties. If I show them whom went back to US or their countries, sending them all by E-mail is troublesome. so that's why I decided starting my own web site.
Actually, I have the data in those days in a floppy disk. The English conversation school disappeared at the end of 1999 because of bankruptcy. As a lot of things happened, I lost my confidence and I was thinking about close my web site, however, many people cheered me up and they told me not to closing my web site, but keep going.
I removed this English site for a while because I was so busy to take care of Japanese site. but I forgot when it was. Most of my web site visitors are Japanese, and I am Japanese :) so updating Japanese site is easier than English site... well, it is natural, a matter of course, anyway.
Then later, the web space became limited so I used to have several free web spaces. However, keeping up several web spaces is a kind of troublesome, so finally, I successfully got a domain name to consolidate them all in November 2002.
This English web site is listed in the Open Directory Project before I knew (even though I am an editor of the project). Thanks!
