I have three best friends. One is a travel agent. Another one is a salesperson of manufacturing. I knew them from we were University students. We had a good time such as playing sports, going travel, drinking, talking about girl friends, etc. Of course, They are guys^^. Recently I met a friend who is a travel agent. And I ask his advice for my travel for America.
The most important thing between my friends is that we can share own feeling.
By the way, when I was kids before going to school, I often played at housekeeping called "Mamagoto" in Japanese with girls. I don't know that "play at housekeeping" is correct in English. "Mamagoto" is a play which children imitate adult (usually parents) by using baby's dolls and toys.
And then I fell in love a cartoon character^^. I imagined be a friend and having a date with her. I don't know that I grow out of them. Just joking.
Fortunately, I have never fallen out with my friends. I had ever been very angry with a guy who tell a lie for me when we played a game. I think if he was my friend, he didn't do so. Because, from the start, he was not my friend.
Recently I haven't contact with many friends. I used to play soccer or tennis when we were students. But we hardly meet because we couldn't have free time by having own job or getting married. Everyone became to take good care of private time.
Now I take care of my private time too. I usually spend a time staying home and playing the piano. Unfortunately, I don't have a girl friend;;.
Now, we can contact with foreigner easily using internet. The most of advantage of having friends of a different nationality is our discovery such as common ideas and different ideas by culture they come from. You are my teacher and my e-pal.
