#27 Jan

Ah… Well today, I met Jan. He is like the YFU poster boy. His host mom is the YFU Area Representative so it makes him like the center of all things YFU.

The guy speaks Italian, German, English, Japanese, and a little French. He is seventeen and from Switzerland. But, he is half Italian and half Filipino. So let’s just say he is an interesting character. And no, he is not my type… He is like a head shorter than me.

We went out to lunch with Yan, another exchange student from Switzerland. It was his going away party. He has been in Japan for ten months and is going home in a week.

The lunch was extremely fancy, but entirely western at the same time…

After lunch we did Pitikura at Apita Mall. We met some of Jan’s friends there. :)



We got done with Pitikura just in time to catch the next train back to Handa where we would be meeting another exchange student from Germany. We headed to the Red Brick House to go see the Handa Choir sing. Another YFU exchange student would be singing in the choir which was the reason for going in the first place.

By the end of the event I was surrounded by three Germans two girls and one guy and two Switz guys. Europeans… They can speak every language I swear. They were flowing from Japanese to German to Italian to English like it was normal. It was an experience and altogether a good day. :)
