Today (July 24) and tomorrow, you are spending time with your host family. I hope you are having a wonderful time together with your family. Ms. Lem and I went out with administrators and teachers of Miyakonojo-nishi High School tonight. They treated us so well, and we had lots of talks. Unfortunately, the next trip in November from Miyakonojo-nishi HS will be the last visit to George Washington High School. Due to numerous difficulties, they needed to review their trip, which I understood totally. However, we all hope that you will continue corresponding with your new friends from Miyakonojo-nishi HS for a long time and maintain a life-time friendship with them.
This morning, I rented a bicycle to visit local tourist attractions in Miyakonojo. On the way to the attractions, I had many opportunities to meet local residents of Miyakonojo. I've never felt so close so warm to meet people like I had today. I believe that people in Miyakonojo have such an open and warm mind. Unlike big cities like Tokyo and Osaka, people here are extremely friendly and kind to others. I do think that you felt the same way with your host family. Please enjoy your time with them and continue your friendship with your host student and his/her family for a long time.
Visiting Miyakonojo became my highlight for this trip. Meeting students and teachers of Miyakonojo-nishi as well as residents of Miyakonojo made me feel so good and proud as Japanese.
Thank you all for giving me this opportunity.
