I talked with my senior friend who had lived in Tsukuba-Mirai city.
Since He had lived in Ibaraki.Pref, I remembered all I know about Ibaraki.Pref.
I "Do you know Toride?"
He "I don't know."
I "Do you know Tone River?"
He "I don't know. But I've ever heard."
I "Do you know Tsuchiura?"
He "I know it."
I "I've ever go through Tsuchiura. Then…"
I broke the ice like this.
In my case, Starting speech with geography makes easy for me to talk with the man I've never met.
On the other hand, I hear that females tend to be scared of me when I ask them their address in detail. So, my way of speaking may not be suitable for talking with the woman I've never met.
