This time, it was to a person living in the same country.

We are celebrating our one year of friendship!

彼は地球の反対側にいますが、私はほとんどの人よりも彼に近く感じています。

It was so fascinating to hear about the differences between the culture and structure of our lives.

While we often feel annoyed or anxious when people take forever to reply to our texts, on Slowly, taking forever is the point.

I received a letter, from Syria, not knowing then how much it would change my life the following year.

Letter to a Japanese Friend, Winter Solstice

I can be heard by whole the world. We all can be heard and listen to each other.

私の中国語スキルが確実に向上したことを誇りに思い、セネガルからスイス、香港に至る10代の若者たちと話をすることができました。

実際に彼が私の街に来て、私たちは出会い、私の人生の中で最高の1週間を過ごしました。彼は私の親友の一人になりました。

私はとても嬉しくて、家の中を回りながら「日本から手紙を受け取った！」と言っていました。」

It is wonderful to make friends from a completely different part of the World and to see their country through their eyes.
