From Australia – August 9th

From Australia – August 9^th,  Thursday.  Day 12 

All together now!

この短期留学もいよいよ大詰め。バディへのお礼のカードを書いたり、フェアウェルパーティの準備をしたりの慌ただしい一日。その中で、今日は長崎平和記念日。セントアンドリュースの日本語だけでなくフランス語、イタリア語の選択生徒とも一緒に平和の祈念を行いました。

It’s cloudy sky with 20℃ atmosphere this morning. We can feel warm and a little bit humid. This is the very first day of cloudy since we arrived here on 29^th, July.  Weather is changing and time goes by.  As Olympic Games in London are ending near, the day when we have to say “Good bye” to our friends and families is coming in a few days.

So, today, we made a preparation for Farewell Party on Friday night, with practicing singing songs all together, making speeches and writing some farewell messages to our school buddies. The time to have lunch together and to chat with buddies in St. Andrews is really precious for us like treasure.  Enjoy the rest of our time together. 

And today is Nagasaki Peace Memorial Day.  Long back 67years ago, 9^th August, 1945, Atomic Bomb was exploded above the city center of Nagasaki, just above one of the most beautiful and ancient Catholic churches.  St. Andrews’ students who take Japanese, French and Italian lanaguage classes are together in praying for peace with Japanese students.

Once again, all together, pray for the world in peace.  We are sure our pray has reached NAGASAKI.
