Welcome Colgate University Students!!

I talked with a male.
Because I was very nervous, I can't possible to begin to talk well.
Then, I felt that Japanese are more shy than American.
At First, we talked about ourselves.
He came from New York and 20 years old. He is a vegetarian.
He likes Japanese food and he said that Japanese rice was delicious.
And we showed a driver's license to each other.
There are a lot of differents.
Most surprised thing was what an eye color was mentioned in driver's license.
It was the first experience to have talked with a foreigner so much.
I spent the valuable time.
I thought that I have to blush up of speaking and vocabulary skill.
