hi there.
guess what!! I realized today is 30th!! I didn't notice till I saw the calendar...
so I'd like to look back on this year. on April 8th, I came to Victoria. because the day was a Easter Monday, ex my host mom had prepared a big dinner.
but... it was terrible food... I mean it was no taste, turkey was so dry, I was so disappointed. then my Victoria life has been started. at the time I've thought my host family was nice, but actually not. she didn't make my lunch, often she served the food that was bought from fast food shop. meanwhile, I've had a homesickness. it was really bad. I thought over like 'why I came here...even though It is so stressful for me...' but after 4 months I determined to move another shared house. then I met White couple. they are owner of the shared house. their name are Kim and Daryl. actually they are just the owner of the house but they always look after for me. ever since I moved to here, my homesickness has been disappeared. and then they took me a lot of places and invited me many parties, dinners. like shawnigan lake, gold stream park, shopping, my birthday party, thanks giving day, Halloween things, Christmas party etc... even it has been just 8 months, I have a lot of memories with them. especially the shawnigan lake trip is the most unforgettable and awesome trip I've ever had. Im really grateful that I was able to meet them!
the end of November, I went back to Japan just temporary. it was really good for me because I could be objective about Japan. and I spent time with my friends, my family, my ex coworker, regular costumer! it was special time for me... then I thought that I'll acquire enough english skills till I'm coming back next time.
I really appreciate that my parents sent me off to Canada. I know that is hard for my parents, so I can't thank to them enough. I have to be nice to my parents!
ever since I came here, I have been experienced a lot of things. I'm gonna cherish this precious times...
have a happy new year :)
