フィリピン生活の終わりと新生活の始まり -Finish the staying in the Philippines and start new beginnings-

5ヵ月間のフィリピン生活が終わりました！たくさんの出来事、そして出会いがありました。自分の考え方、物事の価値観は大きく変化したように思います。
フィリピンで友達になった韓国人、台湾人、中国人、フィリピン人、日本人との思い出は宝物です。誰もが目標を持っていて、ポジティブな考えを持った人ばかりなので、一緒に居て刺激になります。特に自分は韓国人との相性が良いのか、韓国人と共に行動することが多かったように思います。一番嬉しかったのは、学校に来ている韓国人の多くが歴史やライバル関係にある日本を嫌っているケースが多いのですが、偏見を少しでも取り除けたことです。とても温かい心を持った人ばかりです。
フィリピンの学校を離れるときは寂しい気持ちでしたが、新たなスタートの始まり。これからも英語の勉強を継続していかなければなりません。徐々に5ヶ月間のフィリピン生活も報告していきたいと思います。フィリピンでお世話になった先生、友達、ヘルパーさん、本当にありがとうございました。

I have finished for a short stay in the Philippines. Many things happened frequently and I encountered with irreplaceable friends, teachers, and so on while I was studying there for 5 months.
I think that my way of thinking and my sense of values were greatly changed. My precious memories which I talked with Korean, Taiwanese, Chinese, Filipinos and Japanese are my treasure. Everyone who I met the Language Academy in the Philippines has a own terget, so they have a positive thinking. Therefore, I was received a great amount of influence from them.
Especially, I was excellent with Korean students, I spend with them most of my free time. The happiest thing in the past 5 months that I was able to create a good relationship with them, so I think they got rid of their prejudice even if slightly. Some Korean students have a prejudice against Japan, because our history and we are rival of many things like economy, politics, and so on. The fact is that some Japanese also have it. However, I want to get along with them, everyday.
When I left Language academy, I felt sad but it makes new beginnings. I have to study English continuously. I intend to upload on this blog. Please confirm it. Thanks to teachers, friends and helpers, I was able to spend a precious time with you. Thank you!!
