    My first foreign friend broke my heart.

    However, before I could have a foreign friend, I needed


    to travel abroad first. I've always wanted to go abroad and make friends all over the world.

    Last winter, I was able to study abroad for four weeks in Toronto. While studying in Toronto, I
    met a Canadian girl named Jem. She told me that she wanted to make Japanese friends, so I
    was happy to talk to her. I was also happy to talk to her because she is so beautiful.

    Jem is half white half Filipino, and I've never seen anyone like her before. It is safe to say that I
    fell in love with her at first sight, but not everything is done to make things happen as one
    expects.

    At the beginning of our friendship, I was able to meet Jem often because we were exchange
    partners. Jem helped me study English and I helped her study Japanese. Gradually we were
    making more friends, so I invited her out to dinner with me. We went to a restaurant with her
    friends who also study Japanese, I talked a lot with her and her friends in English, and we ate
    katsudon. It's very delicious, having dinner together made me very happy and I think my
    language skills improved.

    One day I went to watch a football game with my friends from Kwansei Gakuin. At the game, I
    saw Jem with another student. I said hello, and I asked him about his friend. She said, "He's my
    boyfriend. That's what I had a boyfriend. I was surprised, and I was disappointed in love In
    addition, her boyfriend was also Japanese and was studying abroad like me.

    I was sad about that incredible fact. At that moment I thought that my experience in another
    country was sad

    Finally, the day I returned to Japan, I heard from Jem by email. In her email, she wrote,

    "Thank you for being my friend* I want to meet you and speak Japanese when I go to Japan
    this summer" Your email made me really smile. I forgot my feelings at the soccer game and
    remembered all the good times I had in Toronto. With all this, I learned that life is decked with
    good and bad memories, but it is more important Remember the good ones
