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.

I am proud to say that my Mandarin has definitely improved, and I have been able to talk with teenagers from Senegal to Switzerland and Hong Kong.

Hij kwam naar mijn thuisstad, waar we samen één van de beste weken van m'n leven doorbrachten. Hij werd meteen m'n beste vriend!

I was so happy that I went around the house saying "I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM JAPAN"

Ik heb een geweldige persoon ontmoet. Tijdens het lezen van zijn brieven waande ik met in Spanje met hem.

It has connected not only us, but also our lives and hearts...

She took a plane and drove 200km by car to see... me? Just... me?

I do really feel like I am in touch again with the world, thanks to all the great conversations I'm having now with such sweet people.

Hij is 60 jaar ouder dan ik, en toch kunnen we nog steeds dingen vinden waar we het over eens zijn en die we kunnen delen.

I will return to my home town soon but Slowly will continue close to me.

Just like many other female citizen of third world country, I was treated like convicting any shameful act.
