Nozomi's goal was to learn as much English as possible.  She also had some interest to know about the nail industry in the US but since the technology and technique was much higher in Japan she did not put much time into this area.   Later, with BRIDGE, she thought about her long-term career and thought training would be a good area to pursue. As a result, she thought to talk with industry people and to get practical experience.  How she did it may surprise you.
