The day before yesterday was my birthday, and by chance I spent it with my classmates who graduated from the same school in the old days. Though they didn't know that that day was may birthday, for me it resulted in an enjoyable day.
It was just spontaneous.We often hang out, and the day which we set few days ago was just my birthday by any chance. I knew it was my birthday of cource, but I didn't mention it, because I didn't want them to think that I expected some gifts or something like that.
It was just spontaneous. We often hang out, and the day which we had set a few days ago was just my birthday by chance. I knew it was my birthday of course, but I didn't mention it, because I didn't want them to think that I expected some gifts or something like that.
2. Use the past perfect for things happening in the past before other things that also happened in the past.
3. You are not talking about a specific noun you already introduced, so use the indefinite article here.
4. "By any chance" is indeed a common expression, but it's used differently. Here, you want to say "by chance" = by coincidence.
5. Spelling.
We regularly walk around Tokyo for hours like a "hiking." This time, after we had a lunch at a casual French restaurant and then traveled riverside area for 4 hours visiting some shrines and historical places. It was comfortable weather day, so we aren't tired at all.
We regularly walk around Tokyo for hours like "hiking." This time, after we had lunch at a casual French restaurant, we walked along the riverside area for 4 hours visiting some shrines and historical places. It was a comfortable weather day, so we weren't tired at all.
2. Alternative expression: "having".
4. "after having lunch" is a subordinate clause, so you need a main clause now = one that can stand alone: "this time we walked along the riverside".
5. "Travel" is usually used for longer distances.
6. You don't "walk" or "travel" something -> "along" is needed.
7. You are talking about a specific noun, so use the definite article here.
8. You are not talking about a specific noun you already introduced, so use the indefinite article here.
9. Don't revert back to the present, stick to the past tense to talk about actions taking place in the past.
Every time exploring Tokyo, we visit some shrines. This is my favorite part. We are not religious persons, let alone I'm a christian! However, you bump in to shrine and temples here and there in Tokyo. And Japanese culture based on Shinto and Buddhism , so when I go to there, I feel peaceful.

2. That's the plural of person.
3. Keep the plural subject.
4. Spelling.
5. 8. Use commas and/or conjunctions or pronouns to connect related sentences for a better flow.

7. You used "Buddhism", so use "Shintoism" here.
9. No preposition is needed between this verb and "there".
We've been friends for fifty years! We went to an integrated junior, senior high school and college. In short we spent from the beginning of teen age to the middle of twenty. After graduating this school, we have been keeping friendship.
