THANK YOU ALL!!! omoshirokatta!!

Hontou no tabidachi wa korekara! Ganbatte!
You might go back to Japan, you might not, but I do hope that this trip has enriched your life in many ways.
It's good that you have experienced the country other than yours, and also you met so many people,
lear=ned as much as you could. As someone writes, things aren't the same. Some will return, some won't, but
we will all treasure the time that we all have shared together in Osaka. This program will continue, I hope.
Please stop by at F-7 in the fall or in the spring, if you are not taking Japanese.
If you happen to be in Osaka during our program next year, I would definately like you to be part of us. ^_^
We will see you all again at the photo exchange. -- Your sensei (ft)

Sensei,
I just looked at the site that you created for the youtube videos and I am in tears. This trip was so amazing. It WAS life changing. I made new friends, I went somewhere completely different than what I know. I struggled sometimes. I laughed and had fun, and sang karaoke. I met some amazing people, I lived in a hotel, I stayed at a stranger's house, I sang, I learned new games, I LEARNED. I feel the same way that Anthony does, I have been depressed since I've come back, and I realize that I wouldn't miss it soooo much, if it didn't mean that much to me in the first place. I will go back, but it won't be the same next time. I won't be your student, it won't be the same people, the same atmosphere, that feeling of doing something brand new, but it will still be Japan. There is so much there to learn from. I want to thank you for that, for everything. Over and over you have taken students with you to Japan, and I know that this time took a lot of work, and a lot of stress. I just want you to know that I appreciate you doing something so amazing, for me, and for everyone else. Sensei, THANK YOU! Thank YOU Thank YOU! Thank YOU! I can never express my gratitude for the opportunity that you afforded me. Thank you! And Thank YOU for making that site, I cried but also smiled, and I will never ever forget my first trip to Japan.
Thank You Again,
((リアナ))

^_^ Mr. Koizumi, and Shima sensei, This was the best students exchange ever! Thanks for all of your work and love for us! --Fumiko Tachibana
