Mitsuyuki:

Ivan-san. Thank you very much for your excellent comments. I’m very happy to hear that you and your wife enjoyed the Kyoto tour with me. I’m sure that you are very kind to the elderly. I’m greatly impressed with your soft tone of voice. I have to learn a lot from your attitude to others. Thank you very much.
