i have spent a few days with my old senpai from the… native? nagoya seitoku tennis team, and he has taken me along to a team meetup. apparently they are still still close and have dinners together, so they have challenged me to a drinking competition at a local restaurant. (i won).

it was a bit strange, because i was very not a part of the group, but they have tried their best to be kind and accommodating and i now feel a bit closer. it is a shame they did not get to go to the camp years ago because the invitations were for the other exchange students like me specifically, but i would have missed out meeting some other people if they had gone so maybe it works out.

aside from that i have gone on some garden tours and have seen nagoya castle and the tokugawa art museum and stuff. i have been before, when i was still here for school, but it is more interesting when i can look at my own pace.

tomorrow i will start heading south, so i think i will be in kumamoto at maybe friday. with the current schedule i think i will be in osaka in the last week of august or so, and then in kanagawa a bit into september. i can give more specific dates if people need it for maybe meeting up, though.

We'll look forward to having you here in Osaka when you get here~♥ Can't wait to have spicy curry with you and show you all the cool places. We should definitely go to Nara and Kobe... oh, and we can take you on the Hep5 Farris Wheel. So much fun stuff!

That's great that you were able to meet up with your old friends. Weren't there quite a few international students on your team back then?

it will be fun! i am thinking i will stay in osaka longer than i will stay in most other places, so it is good that you guys can show me around. it sounds like i will have very much to see.

i actually did not know most of these so well. the one who offered me to stay was hayashi-senpai, who was actually the captain. i saw more of the transfer students, but this was the team that did the regionals before the team got replaced with the exchange student program players, so it is a bit like they did not get to play because of us? i think they minded back then, but they were nice enough to talk to now.
