Japanese School Visit

A week ago, I met my exchange student from Japan! 

In a week I made a good friend. She taught me many things about life in Japan, from different foods to different school life. Both of us were amazed at the differences in schooling life each other goes through on a daily basis. In that little time, I found out that we shared many things, such as our music tastes! We both loved a lot of boy groups; we especially shared our love for Jungkook. We both enjoyed the same foods such as sushi and ramen and we both had Math's as our favourite subject. We simultaneously agreed that having siblings was a pain. I

 especially enjoyed going to each class together, PED was more productive with my buddy, and I found myself enjoying the class way more! On the last day, she taught me how to do a Japanese dance and we found out about rice balls, origami, calligraphy and animation in Japan. Then last came the departure, my buddy and I were sad saying goodbye to one another. Even if it was only for a week, I had grown quite close and vice versa. In conclusion, this was an interesting and quite fun experience, and I would love to do this again.
