My experience in England
That was 5 years ago, when I was g5, I went to England with my g5 classmates. That was the school training trip, and almost g5 students attended to this trip. I had never been Europe countries before, so I was so excited. But also I had a little bit angst because I had never been that country and I was afraid about friends. Even I was going with my classmates, but in the UK, we had 2 weeks to stay there, and I needed to take class with non-Japanese people. That time, I couldn't speak English very well, so I was so nervous.
During England trip, I was staying in dormitory with my Japanese students. Even though, our next room, there were two foreigner students. Their name is Tom and Mike. They both from America. They are so positive and very active. Even it was midnight, they turn on the lady gaga music and dance through all night. Because of that, our Japanese students must spent pain night. I used to think everyone hates them. And actually me too.
Unfortunately, I was same class with those two guys. They were so noisy at class either, even they didn't sleep all night. I was wondering how can they be so noisy and active. If I were them, absolutely I will fall in to sleep, if I woke up all night. In my class, there were just 10 people. 3 Korean, 2 American 1 from Brazil, 2 from France, 1 from Hong Kong, and me. I couldn't enjoy the class, and concentrate what we were learning. Students were so noisy, and even my teacher, Ms. K said "shut up!!!", but they didn't care. After few days, Ms. K quit our class. I demanded to other teacher to move to other class, but they didn't allow it.
Most of my Japanese students had a peace class. I was so jealous. Next day, new teacher Mr. C came in and say them to "be quiet!". But as well as Ms. K class, they didn't listen. My anger through the throat. And suddenly I said "shut up you guys, can you here teacher voice?" Class became quiet for a moment. Then Tom apologized to Mr. C, and said to me, you are courage man."
Afterwards, we became good friends. They knew a little Japanese, and I sometimes taught them. We stayed 2 weeks at England, and we went to amusement park, pool, challenge to haunted house. We had very funny time.
2 weeks went over so fast. I had never used English before, but that time, I had a little bit confidence. Because out friend relationship demonstrate, I did conversation with them using English.
My English was awful. But I used jesters, and told them what I want to say. They understood me.
As my conclusion, I want to say, nationality or identity doesn't meter to make friends. We all can be good friends. That's what I learned in England.
