Last weekend, I went to Amsterdam. Kimura-sensei, who I work with, lives in Amsterdam, so I attended her birthday party. We celebrated with Heineken! Kimura-sensei also came to England to celebrate my birthday last month and I am very grateful for this relationship.

This was my fifth time to Amsterdam, but it had been five years since my last trip with my family, so it was a nice feeling to be back again. It was also the first time I had been there in the autumn and it was a great experience. The Netherlands and Japan have a long historical relationship, it is nice to feel the shared history.

I had never noticed that there were people from Italy and Spain living in Amsterdam when I visited there as a tourist. I was happy to have met those Japanese language learners at the party. It was a wonderful cross-cultural exchange, both talking to Dutch people and to people from other countries living in Amsterdam.

I can imagine how much Kimura-sensei had to prepare for the event, but it was amazing that I enjoyed Japanese dishes such as sushi, fried chicken, and takoyaki (octopus balls). Thank you very much for the food! The karaoke was also a lot of fun. I think it was a wonderful time for the people to experience Japanese culture. Thank you again, Kimura-sensei, for inviting me to such a wonderful party and giving us a valuable cross-cultural experience.

Here is a message from Kimura-sensei.

'Friends of friends are all friends, let's expand our circle of friends to the world!’ This is a phrase used in a Japanese TV program. I like this phrase so much and this is my motto. It would be great if the circle of Japanese learners and Japan lovers could spread all over the world.  I am happy if I can support that in any way. Let's expand our 'circle of Japanese friends'!

It would be wonderful to keep working on the further potential of global education, both for teachers like us teaching in another countries and those teaching in your own countries! I look forward to future exchanges at the “Japanese Language Teachers” group as well. Thank you very much for supporting the community!
