Farewell party - Himeji gang
Ok... I had promised myself to avoid posting about this kind of thing until proper time, but I got a reason to do that sooner.
I'll leave Himeji. So, before I left Jo said she'd like to cook something for us (Silvia and me). So, we went to Rezaur's home last Saturday to eat some spaghetti (well, I was in charge of desserts and bought some cakes... but they got a little destroyed on the way because I was late... Why? Murphy's law... and having a last go lesson here...). Yummy yummy yummy!
Next, since we were there, the idea to go to Coast (a sports bar near Rezaur's house) appeared (until that point I can say that it was expected). As soon as we enter the place... Surprise farewell party!!!
Yup! That got me off-guard... (For those who thought I was less emotional than I should there, that was because it took a little longer to really realise what was happening, in Portuguese idiom "cair a ficha") What can I possibly say... Guess there're no words to really express it...
All the "Himeji Gang" together... maybe for the last time. And with a farewell cake made from scratch by Jon himself! Thanks! Also thanks to Meg for her present. An anime DVD that I longed to watch... Still can't do that (don't have a DVD player), but I'll make sure to watch it as soon as I can. Thanks also to Steff and Jo who organized the whole thing, and everyone for being there.
I said previously that what I miss most in Brazil are my friends... I believe that it'll be the same when I leave Himeji... Thank you all for making my time in Japan better!

Igor,
I am planning to run away. I ll stay more. Please, tell my parents that I love them, but I wanna stay more.
I loved the words that you copied from the anime. It suits perfectly with the situation.
I also took time to understand what was happenning. They are really THE BEST FRIENDS!!
I know someone who felt just like you when she had to fly back to her country. Hard for who stays, hard for who leaves...
I think it´s harder for one that leaves, because these person had passed by a change in the way of life and learned so from other culture, that it´s hard to go back to what he/she used to do.
But, never lose the comunication! ^.^
