My 後輩（こうはい）

One of the things I've been doing here was giving some directions and tips to the next student who'll go to Himeji through the same program. Seeing his, and especially his parents', doubts I had a déjà-vu feeling. But he is much more easygoing than I am, so I think he'll be ok (well, on the other hand he likes animes and mangas more than me, so maybe watch out for money... yes, I said that to him).

That also helped me to miss Japan more. seeing all the preparatives again remembered me of when I was doing mine and everything that came from it... Aahhhh... Good experience, really.

So, he left last Monday. Now I believe he's in Himeji already. Watching the farewells at the airport also remembered me of mine... hehe... Maybe reading his blog I'll remember many things. Let's see what happens. Good luck there!

And a strange coincidence is, from 3 "generations" of exchange students sent to Himeji through this program, there was always one who used to play futsal at ACEL (some kind of Japanese club/association in my hometown...). For the count, I'm the second.

Well, just a small correction that some people asked me to do. ACEL is a club/association created by Japanese descendents, but is open to anyone although most members have Japanese descendence.
