Japanese people

Japanese people (portrait)



In today's post, I am going to talk about my friend Shizuka. I met her for the first time in freshman year because she was my friends' friend, but I have not really talked to her before. I met her again in "Japan and western film and literature" class and became good friends. Since then, we often hang out at CIE and pictures here are taken when we went to moss burger after school.





Shizuka is very openminded, cheerful, and always ready to be your friend. Unlike typical Japanese, she is not shy at all. She says what she wants to say. Probably direct, but in a positive way. Japanese people in general, they become really shy when they are in class and rarely give their opinions; however, she is completely different. We have been taking Japan and western film and literature class for a while now and I think she is the most talkative Japanese student in class. I was so surprised by how friendly she is and how quickly she becomes friends with many people. Also, she has studied in England for a year and she often uses British term which is quite funny to me.







Interesting fact about Shizuka.....She is weird. She often says very random things! What she says really make us laugh. For example, if we were talking about sports, she can just randomly says things like "I had fried chicken yesterday!".....and she often do not get jokes. She looks so confused when she doesn't get jokes. I think she is a bit different from others and that's why I like spending time with her. When we went to moss burger, we talked about fashion.....then she suddenly took out her credit card from her wallet and said "LOOK! JCB CARD, isn't it cool?" hahaha amazing!
