YFU Exchange Program

Hello bloggers! A lot of you may not know, but I'm currently in Japan and will stay in Wakayama for the next six weeks. Today was my first day of school in Japan. I was lucky enough to have my fellow YFU friend, Tom, at my school. We had some of our classes together, and my day was a lot easier because of him. At school, I met a lot of Japanese students. Two "buddies" guided me through the day and I would not survive at all without their help. Akari and Mao reminded me of a friend when I first moved to Hong Kong, where they all translated everything for me and became the best companions they could possibly be. Even though I felt lonely sometimes, it's been really nice to regain that language vitality. I haven't had the urge of wanting to know everything regarding languages in a really long time, and this desire for new knowledge is a really, really nice feeling.
