Life's way

(Picture from Tom 4/28 ceremony)Thanks nice picture!

This is my poem for ELI.
I submited it for student voice, but I couldn't find my poem.
So I show you all my friends.

I'm happy if you like it

-Life's way
Why did we meet?
What's the meaning to meet you?

We met in this extensive world
I only know that I'm lucky

Became a friend
Became someone's special one

Sometimes life shows us suffering
Sometimes life gives us happiness
We learn life's way from love

Realize the meeting of people is life and a treasure


(日本語版）
なぜ私たちは出逢ったのだろう?
この出逢いに意味はあるのか?
答えなど　どこにもない
誰も知らないけれど

時に痛みを教えてくれる
幸せを与えてくれる
この人生を
乗り越える事で強くなれる

君が身近な一人になった
君の特別な一人になれた
一つ一つの出逢いが作っていく
私たちの未来

Yokoso Japan~ 本日帰国

"Yokoso" means welcome in japanese.
When I arrived at Narita airport, I cried a little bit.
I realized that I came back to Japan,,, now I'm in Japan...
I felt relieved, missed America, but something excited.
I can't explain very well.
It's a beginning of my new life.
I want to relaxed few days and start to something for my job.

immigration at Narita(入国審査＠成田空港）


日本に帰国しました。
楽しく充実した韓国旅行も終わり日本へ。
空港が見えてきて着陸した時は何だか知らないけど涙が出た。
安心したような、でもまだ淋しい気持ちもある、そしてこれから何かが始まるような。そんな複雑な気持ち。
まだ時差ぼけで何だか変な感じ。
しばらく体を休めようと思います。
サンフランシスコと韓国の様子は近いうちに一気に載せます
お楽しみに

from Kims hostel @Seoul,Korea

I've been to San Francisco for three days after April 29th.
I met my English teacher Sanae there.
We went to Napa vallay~~ Do you know Napa? There is famous as many winaries. I bought a wine!

I arrived at Seoul May 2nd.
My friend Daniel picked me up at the airport.
So,I'm in Seoul(South Korea) Kims hostel.
I enjoyed my first trip in Korea.
This trip was also my first time to meet my friends who live in other coutries. I met four friends in Korea.
Daniel, Smith, Lynn, and Ray Thanks you guys.
If I don't have friends, my trip was very different one.

Anyway I hope that I can arrive in Japan safety.
