Hi Christine.
Thank you for the corrections. The reason I made only two errors in last letter is I checked for misspellings and grammatical errors on an automatic translation web site before I send it. If I didn't check it at all, you must have been confused with full of misspelled words and weird sentences. But, the check system never tells me the mistakes which natives don't say like that. So, you've been a big big help. Please correct any mistakes in my writing if it's not too much trouble.
I'm glad to hear that you're interested in Japanese style door. There are various prices in fusuma. Nowadays, we don't spend much money for fusuma because we rarely use Japanese-style room as a formal event or a guest room. So, a fusuma paper printed simple pattern, the price is around $50/1paper is popular. We change a fusuma paper once in some years. It depends on the house owner though.
Although Japanese houses have been changed to western style, in most of the house, there are at least one Japanese-style room. We usually use lace curtains and drapes to cover western style rooms' windows. In a Japanese-style room, we use "shoji" which is sliding screen made of a wooden frame with thin Japanese paper.
Others, "sudare" and "noren" is very popular in Japan. These screen are used in any type of rooms. If you're interested in them, there are some information on the "Wikipedia", and some pictures are on the below(Sorry, the site is in Japanese).
Sudare : http://www.sudare.info/
Noren : http://waratte.nosmilenolife.jp/edn/edn080628.html
Because of time-zone difference, it would be difficult for us to chat on the skype. Please tell me when you have a free time beforehand. I hope you would not be surprised in my poor English speaking(^^;)
ではまたね
Yuki

i really like your emails and very much appreciate the links you send , that information is really helpful . ok here is my corrections for you ( that i gotta say i feel kinda bad about giving you )
"If I didn't check it at all, you must have been confused with full of misspelled words and weird sentences."
should be
If I didn't check it at all, you would have been confused with it being full of misspelled words and weird sentences.
also this expression " natives " is something I have only heard from japanese people and it's quite confusing to me at first because we have people in canada that are called Indians but to be more polite they are called natives , but really they are mostly alchoholics and they sound really awful , so when you say natives i always think of them and not english people . So i think where ever you place the word native that you should replace it with english :)

also i feel i must explain that when canadians, or americans , or the british hear the term " western" we think of old cowboy movies ( cowboy hats , cowboy boots , riding horses , we call those movies westerns )and wouldnt realize that you just mean people in the west .so i would say
