Japanese people (My friend 'AYAKA')

First of all, I want to think about the word 'friend'. I can say I have a lot of friends but sometimes it is hard to find someone who would always be there no matter what I do or what I did. People usually don't appreciate about what they already have on their hands. It is easy to think that we deserve what we have. Now I am in Japan and started to realize how lucky I am to have family, friends and other people who care about me. Fortunately, I have met many nice people in Japan so far. Thanks to Japanese people's kindness, I could build new relationships with Japanese people.


This is my first Japanese friend 'Ayaka'. Among many friends, 'Ayaka' is the first Japanese friend whom I can think of. I can define her in three different words;Brigt, sweet and naive. She also speaks Korean very well and she is good with people. We first met at 'Gappa Sushi'. I went there with my ex-roommate and Ayaka was doing her アルバイト. She took us to the seat and realized that I was not Japanese but Korean. Then later, she came up to me and said "I am learning Korean." in Korean. I was so surprised because that was the first Korean that I heard in Japan. Few plates later, my friend and I left 'Gappa Sushi'. And coincidentally we ran into each other on the way back Seminar House. We recognized each other right away and few weeks later, she became one of my best friends in Japan.
