In the last few weeks, i've met so many new people. In between riding my one speed bike to Beppu and meeting the new exchange students moving in to the Kaikan, its been exciting. I've definitely been putting to use everything I've learned so far in Japanese... and its not easy. I was somewhat of a shy person before I came to Oita, but with how things have been as far as starting a new life, ive had to get rid of some old habits and make new ones. I could say that I'm actually pretty happy at the moment with being able to use the language ive been studying for two and a half years. I know I have a long way to go too.
Also, im pretty happy about the new ryugakusei. We have new students from Britain, Australia, Korea, Norway, and of course the US. Just over the last few days, some of us old timers have been spending time getting to know the new people and just tonight we had our first nomikai. As crazy as its been.. still with the obstacles of getting to know people from other countries, its been fun. I feel its safe to say im happy with the new people and look forward to being friends with them and sharing more interesting Japan experiences.
Its always good to see people making new friends .. Japanese phones are great too.. you can just send your profile over infrared.
Nomikai!
