- to the Afghan version  to
the Japanese version -
Hello! How are you doing? I am
Naho Kobayashi from Japan. I am 17 years old (girl) and 12th
grade in Hakuoh University Ashikaga High School. I am really
happy to have a communication with you in this program.

| I live with my father and mother in
an
apartment. I have a sister but she lives separately to go to a
university in Tokyo, which is Japan’s capital. |

This
is my piano
in my room. But since I’m living in an apartment, I can’t play so much
for it
may disturb my neighbor! I like to play the
piano and watch television in my free time. I don’t play any
sports, but I personally like to watch volleyball. Since I was
bad at playing it, I used to be a manager for a girl’s volleyball team
in my school.

This is
my apartment where I live. There are eight
families living here. I live on the second floor so it has a nice view.
|
|
| When I
was living in the U. S., I went to New York
as a field trip. We are in the island where the Statue of Liberty
stands. |
|
|
| We went
to a field trip to Australia last year. Not
all, but some schools go to a field trip to overseas like us. |

Well, I was asked to write my vision
of the United
States and Afghanistan, but actually, I was living in the US until
September 2004. I moved to the state of Indiana when I was in 5th
grade, and stayed there for 6 full years.
I am so ashamed to write this, but I wasn’t really
interested in what was going on around the world, so I don’t know much
about what kind of country Afghanistan is.
I often hear that
there are terrorisms and civil warfare. My neighbor was a family
from Afghanistan, but we had to move back to Japan before having much
contact with them. What I heard from them was that there are many
languages within a country and the father told me that he could speak
about 3 of them!!! I am sorry if I had a wrong vision of your
country, but I believe this is a good chance to learn more about each
other.
I would like to be your new friend, and I’m looking
forward to hearing from you!
