Hisashiburi Desu Ne!!!
Long time no see! Sorry, I haven't been updating the site regularly, I will try to do better from now *hangs head in shame*.
Just to explain, "hisashiburi" (or "Ohisashiburi" if you want to be more formal) is used when you haven't seen someone for a long time, kind of like "Long time no see". I think there is another way of saying it too but I don't remember just now.
So next time you meet someone you haven't seen in a long time, just tell them "Hisashiburi" (and explain what it means if they don't speak Japanese!). To be properly formal (if you're speaking to the boss for example), it should be "Ohisashiburi desu" ("desu" is often left out in casual speech).
