For example I would look for a hotel in Chicago and find a room for a $180, then my cousin is also...

As an English speaking person who recently got into learning Japanese, I was intrigued by the use of the three writing systems: Kanji, Hiragana and Katakana, however I could not truly understand why it is that way.
