it has been long

[uzauza]

i have finished putting all my things away. it is very strange being alone home here now. i hope i will run into someone who remembers i remember.

japan already looks very different when i can read most of  some of  a few of the street signs. in nagoya we were not supposed to leave school without senior older students, and most people at the dorms were changing  switch  also from other countries. i am not sure where to go to find something good to drink. can i ask one of you  someone?

i've been trying to brush up on my japanese, but its definitely more difficult than my practice books. i would like to practice, but if im more understandable in english to people that is okay too. maybe that is easier for people who can speak it?

Oh~ Hmmm depends on if you want something bitter or sweet. Plenty of coffee options, if not hot cocoa.


...Yes the blond one would be my brother, he might have mentioned you. Very tall blond foreigner in a sea of Japanese players.

You don't have to be so formal, An-chan is fine. ^_^

[uzauza]

do you have a preference? i did not sleep well, so coffee is good but the options are too many. it is difficult to decide.

your brother was very good at doubles. i did not speak with him much, but he seemed like an interesting person. it is good to know people have remembered me, i did not get to speak with so many. yagyuu-san taught me japanese then, but i did not know much.

i was taught japanese people are often more formal. it works different in german, so i do not know how it works yet. you are sure an-chan is proper?

[bana_an_na]

It depends~ I do like sweet things~ Maybe a Vanilla latte?

Oh he is. ♥ I'm sure you'll learn plenty in no time. Could it be that you're planning on studying in Keio?? I actually go there so I'm sure we'll see more of each other.

It's perfectly fine, everyone calls me by my first name.

[uzauza]

i am thinking japanese people are strongly impressed favored difference between sweet and not sweet? i think both can be nice. i will try and see if they are different from the ones in germany as a start.

somehow i am already learning a lot of unexpected words. i am studying computer science at keio, yes. i am glad to find someone else who goes there.

if you say it is ok, i will call you an-chan. you can use my first name, but i do not know how well to pronounce it is in japanese. kirihara-san calls me uzauza, i think that may be good as well?

[bana_an_na]

There are also seasonal coffees, like sakura latte if you're interested.


Some words you don't need to learn If you need help getting around campus I can give you a tour. ;)

I think you're name is a bit long so lets just go with Lili-kun. ...WHy does he call you uzauza?

[uzauza]

that sounds interesting. i know the sakura are beautiful but i did not know they are also a food? we have foods that are only eaten at certain times in germany, but i do not think that often is for coffee.

if you know the way well i would appreciate that.

lili-kun is good too. many people at home call me that, without the kun. i do not know why he calls me that exactly. i think it is that my name was difficult, but it has been long. he has learned english well so he could say my name now, but i do not mind the nickname.

[bana_an_na]

Yes, you can eat them , like Sakura flavored mochi. The more commercial products in my opinion just taste like cherry but I do like them.

Classes don't start till April but Im actually starting to go back in two weeks because of tennis club practice, you should come along if you're interested in joining.

... of course , uzauza is kinda a cute nickname I guess. :B

[uzauza]

it sounds interesting. the sakura flower is very beautiful, so i am sure if it can be eaten it must be very good. are there many of these flavors that are only per season?

i was not expecting to be in japan so early as i am, so i did not plan what to do until school. if i could come with you it would be good, i would like to play with japanese people again.

you are can call me that or lili-kun, i think it is both good.

[bana_an_na]

A few things , I suppose it's the same everywhere else. right now its strawberry season so daifuku is really good at the moment, then sakura season and then in summer there's alot of offers with peaches. ♥

Have you tried any traditional sweets?

You might as well come along, maybe I should see if kin-chan would like to come along as well. ;) Two new recruits.

liliauza-kun :b

[uzauza]

i will count on you to tell me when the things are. marui-san told me it was ok to be at the cake? is this why it is strawberries?

i do not mind being there. being part of a club has been a long time.

that sounds strange? i think that is a joke because you put the face, but it seems hard to speak.

[bana_an_na]

Best get you some strawberry daifuku then. Ah, the cake off~ You should come by! They're in season so i thought it'd be a good option.

My senpais will be happy to have new players.

And yes, it was a joke, lili-kun. :b

[uzauza]

i will put it on the top of the list. i will try and be there then, if i can find the place.

are there many people on the club?

[bana_an_na]

I can give you my number and some directions, it's not to hard to get to.

Hmm,I mean between the girls and boys were probably around 30? Though I feel we'll have alot more members this year.

[uzauza]

i would like appreciate that. the number as well, for if i need the help. kamio-san has said he can help if i am lost, but i think you will know the school better.

that is not so big. i think in nagoya it was that number of transferred people on the sports teams. not all for tennis though. i hope it will be a fun part of the group.
