Emi's blog: Best memory

I cultivated my friendship with my friends in China. I left Japan 3 days after coming back to Japan from Monterey for China with my two friends. One was a Chinese exchange student in Kendai and she can speak Chinese. The other was a Japanese student and she studied Chinese with me at Kendai. We were good friends before going to China but after going there our friendship became tightly.

We went to Shanghai and Dalian in China and then “Shanghai Expo” was held in Shanghai.

There were many pavilions at Shanghai Expo. We went to Japan pavilion, China pavilion, and Turkey pavilion.

In Shanghai, my Chinese friend’s acquaintances guided us. Sometimes her cousin took us to great restaurants! We had too much food and all of us gained weight.

One day, my Chinese friend went to meet her friend at a university in Dalian so I went to eat something with the other friend. But it was difficult for us to order the food because we had studied Chinese for only a half year… Although it was tough to communicate in Chinese, English was so useful and helpful for us to talk with Chinese at a shop.

Traveling in other countries, especially in the countries which we don’t know the language is difficult and challenging. But our friendship become tightly after going to these countries with our friends. My trip in China is one of my best memory in 2010.
