Hi, JamboP26.
Thank you!
Then this “except” means “lo and behold”, “For heaven’s sake” or something like that?
In Japanese, that would be “何と!”. Is that right?
Hello, I may not understand English very well and I may lack words but I will try to understand you.
If you have questions about my post or Japanese customs, don't hesitate to ask.
