今まで見たことがない、体験したことがないといった物事に興味があり、友人と一緒に参加しました。
ケニアがどんな国かも知らずに行きましたが、現地での盆踊りは想像を遥かに超えると言うより、想像し得ないような体験でした。
言葉の通じない現地の人に笑顔や感謝を貰ったり
赤の他人だった誰かが大好きな友人になったり
分からないことばかりで大変でしたが、最後の瞬間はとても胸が梳く想いで言葉では上手く表現できません。
一緒にお好み焼きを焼き続けた竜也くんのことは、ずっと忘れないと思います。
I’ve always been drawn to things I’ve never seen or experienced before, so I decided to join the trip with a friend. I went to Kenya without really knowing what to expect, and the Bon Odori there was far beyond anything I could have imagined. We shared smiles and exchanged gratitude with local people who didn’t speak our language, and people who started out as total strangers soon became cherished friends.
There were plenty of moments where I felt lost because so much was unfamiliar, but by the end, I was filled with a feeling so profound that words can’t quite capture it. I’m sure I’ll never forget Tatsuya, who stood by my side the entire time as we kept flipping okonomiyaki together.
