Pop's final web post!
Pop has been back in Thailand for a few weeks now, but before she left we asked her to write he last web post. This is what she wrote! - Peter

Hello. Pop is here again, but this time is going to be last time for me to tell you about the awesome things that I’ve done. From coming to Seiritsu last September, it has been 10 months for me there. There are a lot of things that happened in my life during this year. The most interesting thing is that my English skill is so much better than when I first came here! (or not?) [it is much better! – Peter] and my Japanese has improved too. I had such a hard time learning a lot of thing at the same time when my English skill was so bad. I have to admit that the essays, which I had to do every 2 months, really helped me improve my English skill. Because I studied Japanese in English, Japanese is much easier to study too.
During this year I did a lot of other interesting things which I couldn’t do in Thailand. I went snowboarding and skiing, played with deer in Nara, took the Shinkansen by myself to Kyoto, saw the huge Gundam at Odaiba, went to some random station in nowhere of Kanagawa and got lost in Kamakura etc. These are my precious memories of things that I just cannot do in Thailand. But right now I really realize that the most important places in Japan for me, surely is first my host family home ;) and Seiritsu. This school gave me a lot of experience that I would never get anywhere else. I met a lot of people and I learned how to live with different people from different countries with different cultures.
Thank you to all the Seiritsu teachers and staff who always helped me during this year, especially Richard and Peter who were always my nice teachers, to give me such a precious chance to come here. I will never forget everything which happened here :) and I hope nobody there will forget me too ;)
