Busy Friday started!

My disease was cured. So I started to drink and exercise!

Friday morning
Usually, I have a long meeting in my lab Friday morning. We, students in my lab, have to explain about our studies of a week to our teachers and friends.

Friday afternoon
My friends and I play football in my school for 2 or 3 hours. It was rainy and cool a bit yesterday but we played outside because I got better. We practiced football. I did enjoy it! However I didn't know if my friends enjoyed.(-_-;) As you expect, we got drenched to the skin and got muddy.

Friday evening
I got home by train. It takes about 2 hours to go home. The time in train is rest time to get over physical fatigue for me because I am supposed to play football at 8 o'clock in my local area. It was raining hardly on the night. So we played in a gym of my high school. It was very dangerous to play there. The floor had too good grip. I have sprained my ankle some times before.

Then I got my new electric dictionary made by Casio! My friend sold me a new dictionary which he got as a gift in summer festival and he don't use it. So it was very cheap. The latest electric dictionary is too nice! It has 86 dictionaries about Japanese, English, life, health care, hobbies, computer, business, travels and several languages and so on. It includes too many dictionaries and functions. Of course, there is a heavy manual but I do not want to read it. I will learn by doing like studying English! (^_^)
After that, we went to a bar in Hashimoto city near here and drunk until 4 o'clock! I had a delightful time to talk with waitresses as well as my friends.

This morning
I felt pain in my feet! Surly gout?
Don't worry. I found sudden hard exercise made me feel pain. So it was muscular pain!

About Kenya:
After our project, I went to Nairobi airport by taxi Sep. 19 to go home.
I was puzzled in the airport because I didn't know how and where to get new tickets. Then one policeman let me known where to go and helped me write a paper to get tickets kindly. However, I thought it was too kind a bit. As expected, after he finished to help me, he said "Give me money!". I was unable to believe my ears, "Are you Kenyan policeman?" I asked. I said "I'm sorry. I don't have money because I am a student." and he returned without saying.
I don't know if Kenyan policemen have enough money and I don't know if it is culture of Kenya. However I think such an action may stand in the way of the development of Kenyan tourist industry.

"Konnichiwa!" One man spoke to me there. It means "Hello" in Japan. He, Kelvin, is from Tanzania, 28 years old and He has been to Japan once for business. There were 2 men, Ahmed and Shaikh, with him. They are also from Tanzania. At first, I was afraid of them because there had been a trouble of Kenyan policeman, in addition I had heard from Dixon that Tanzania was very dangerous place. but he tried to talk about Japan he know hardly and they were friendly to me and talkative. So I also asked them many things about Tanzania and told them about Japan and me. I told them that I had left my dictionary there because I wanted to find it. Then they helped me to find it kindly and hardly but finally we were not able to find it. However, I had a good time with them by Dubai. They was going to go to Dubai for business. Their job is to import Japanese old cars to Tanzania. Kelvin told me that he liked his job because he was able to go to many countries and see many things and many foreign girls! I envy them so much!

I made some nice friends when I went to Kenya in September 2007. I enjoyed my time with them. I want to study English and communicate with my friends in foreign countries. Please forgive my strange English and feel free to give me some advice.
