I really enjoy my life here in Japan more and more. Day after day, i feel i make progress, both with the language but also in my cultural integration. Seems strange for me to say so but even after over 7 month here, i still feel like i arrived yesterday.
I play volleyball still and it has become very interesting recently as new student entered the circle. I am an odd end in many ways. I am of course to begin with the only foreign student in the club but also ... i am older then everyone there. I arrived before the new student so i am closer to the senpai but in a way i am almost as new to the circle.
There is an order of thing and its interesting as my skill in Japanese are getting better i can get a feel from the usage of different level of language between the different member of the group. Its feels like day after day , meeting after meeting, I am peeling a peel from the onion and I am getting to the inner part while others are peeling at the outer part closing in but still on the other side of an invisible wall.
