Today was the first day of the exchange program. While we were waiting for the students from Bosnia at the airport, the students from Japan were very nervous. However, after the students from Bosnia arrived, everyone looked very happy. After that, today’s plan was an individual plan, so some of them went home directly, and some of them went to places near the airport. We went to Naritasan Shinshoji Temple. My pair enjoyed the atmosphere of the temple, and I taught him how to worship. We bought some souvenirs and headed home.
After arriving at my home, he unpacked his bags and had lunch. We ate curry and rice, and he enjoyed it a lot. Since he could not sleep on the plane, he took a nap for an hour. Later, we went to a supermarket and bought some Japanese snacks. He explained a lot of things about Bosnian culture. Then, we ate karaage for dinner. He really enjoyed it as well.
I was happy that he enjoyed Japanese food and kept saying how delicious it was. He didn’t seem very nervous from the beginning, and we were able to get comfortable with each other quickly. From tomorrow, I would like to get along with him and the other members even more.
