私たちを外国人として意識しないで、同じ仲間として受け入れてもらえたのがうれしかったですね。学校行事の中では、スキー教室が特に楽しかったです。もちろん、雪に触るのも初めて。何回もころびましたがおもしろくて、タイの友達に、ちょっと自慢して話しました。何でも挑戦しようと思いましたが、納豆だけはだめ。あの臭いが…。ずんだ餅はおいしかったですね。大学で勉強して、日本語の先生か通訳になりたいと思っています。

I was very impressed
to see the snow when skiing for the first time.
I was glad because my classmates accepted me not as a foreigner but as an ordinary classmate. The most impressive experience in my school life was the skiing. It was my first time skiing and I fell down many times. But I boasted to my friends in Thailand about this wonderful experience.
As for Japanese food, the only food I can't eat is natto, fermented soy beans, a popular breakfast food in Japan. I can't stand its terrible smell. But zunda-mochi, which is rice cakes with sweet green soybeans, is very delicious.
In the future, after graduating from the university, I would like to become a Japanese teacher or translator.

茶道はタイにはない文化で、とても興味がありました。最初は座ると足が痛かったのですが、慣れてくると落ち着いた気分になりますね。「背中が丸くなっている」とよく注意されましたが、背筋をぴんと伸ばして座れるようにもなったし、苦くてやっと飲んだお茶も、今では何杯でも飲めます。源氏物語に興味を持って図書館本から本を借りましたが、私にはちょっと難しかったです。もっと日本語を勉強し、読めるようになりたいですね。

Now I like drink green
tea although I did not drink it before.
I had an interest in Tea Ceremony because it is a very traditional Japanese culture which doesn't exist in Thailand. In the beginning, having to sit Japanese style on the floor, my knees and ankles hurt a lot. But soon I got used to it and the pain doesn't affect me any more. Today, I can sit Japanese style on the floor, with my back straight and proud, enjoying the tranquility of the Japanese Tea Ceremony.
I also had an interest in classic Japanese literature and tried to read the first Japanese novel ever written, The Tale of Genji. My Japanese has improved a lot but that book is still quite a challenge. I hope to be able to finish it one day by continuing my Japanese studies in Thailand.

２年生のスプリングチャレンジ（スポーツデイ）で、私たちのクラスは総合１位になりました。みんなと一緒に頑張っていっしょに喜べて、クラスの仲間として認めてもらったような気がしました。授業では、タイで苦手だった地理が好きになりました。教えてくださった先生のおかげです。先生の話が楽しくて、授業中に世界旅行をしているような気分になりました。

My favorite memory at
Ikuei was the Sports Festival.
When I was in the 2nd grade, my team won the first prize at the Spring Festival. We put our best effort forward and it showed. I enjoyed playing with my classmates and being part of the team.
Additionally, thanks to the Ikuei Geography teacher, I gained a new fondness for the subject. Before coming to Sendai Ikuei I was not too interested in Geography, but my class at Ikuei was very interesting and my teacher made us feel as if we were actually traveling abroad.
