Kanji at the City Hall

At the city hall reception, I received one piece of paper.
But, on that paper, there were many difficult kanji.
Because I could not read the kanji, I said to the person next to me, ‘Excuse me, please teach me this part.‘
That person taught me how to read it.
That person was very kind.
Then, I wrote my name and address.
