27 Oct - Lunch with Yoriko and Soccer

Lunch with Yoriko, Keiko and Jun








Last soccer training at Hachioji :-(






Day three at Hachioji soccer - by Grant

So it went a little something like this. This time Zoe was coming to Hachioji soccer to watch, when we got there and put on my boots it was time to start, so we got right into it with some warm ups then games. I wasn’t on one of my good friends teams, actually they were all my friends but I wasn’t on my best friends team Senri. My team was the best team winning all their games bar 1, so we got to the final and won convincingly. After the training when I was handing stuff out, my best friend Senri came up to me a and gave me a letter I opened the letter and it said -

“Dear Gran,

I enjoyed playing soccer with you!! When will you come here again? Will you keep playing soccer when you will be a junior high school student? I am going to playing all the time (meant to be I am going to be playing all the time). Let’s play a game together at the World Cup in the future!! Exchange letters with me please, if you may. Good luck, Senri Kobayashi.



He also gave me his address card to write letters to. Mum asked Seri’s Mum how long it took him to write the letterr and she said 3 hours. She also said that Senri has never met a foreigner before. On the way home Zoe, Mum and I could not believe it that he spent three hours to write a letter to me out of his own time. When we got home it was strait into bed.
