This past weekend was filled with studying. So, after all our brains were fried, we decided to go to Spa World on Sunday. Alaina, Emma, Guilherme, and many other of our friends went, as well as Misaki and Tatsuya. The guy's floor was stylized with countries from Europe. It was my first time being to a spa like that. I've been to onsen before, but never a spa that large. It was very relaxing.
My friend Guilhereme and I talked a lot. He's from Portugal so I was really curious what Portugal was like, Portuguese culture, and anything else. He told me a lot about his university and later showed me pictures at the seminar house. He told me that if I come visit, I'll end up gaining weight because his family will cook so much. O_o!!! His university sounds really engaging! He told me what he does in his major (Computer Science with an emphasis in AI if I'm correct) and I thought that was really cool. We also discussed our futures, possible dreams, and what we want in life.
He taught me a phrase in Portuguese, "Hoje Um Grande Dia" which means "Today is a good day." (Sorry if I misspelled that)
This was one of the moments where I got to experience a everlasting memory in Japan that was not related with Japan at all. A friendship that I hope to keep for a lifetime.
