Her plan to improve her English by going on a year-long homestay in Vancouver goes completely haywire. Sumiko is suddenly on her own, forced to use her very basic English skills with nobody around to look after her. Embracing what the Universe has put in front of her and with her lively spirit of adventure, Sumiko encounters people and situations which propel her English skills to new heights. But the most wonderful aspect of her trip is the unexpected romance that takes her life in an entirely new direction.
