From the first day I was supposed to wait at the airport for Masa and Jacky, I knew that the coming week gonna be fantastic. And so the time passed by, When Frank and I casted a first glance at Masa, "OOOOpsie!!" that was exactly what we felt at that very moment. He was never supposed to be appear like that as a physics student but as a typical Japanese young handsome. However to our surprise--in fact at least I though he would be quite outgoing and super talktive--he was very shy at the first moment, that he was actually shaking--like a neat school girl. I thought around, maybe because I had told them "don't worry" so many time, which made the typical kind and super polite Japanese cool guy felt uneasy, haha. About Masa, he is a handsome guy at the first glance, but honestly speaking, he is a responsible and active guy during all this week. I still remember all these guys sharing our kind of "ero" experience together, and which has really impressed me was Masa was a super polite and kind person. I always recall the moment that he cut the cake and shared the beer with all these people, and of course his red face when he was forced to drink. He is really a good guy, I know I could not judge a person by appearance any more haha.

    The second coming guy was Jacky san. Everybody called him Jacky "san" because he was older than the other guys. Frankly speaking, the first impression that Jacky san stamped on me was that "this is a super smart and popular person!". Because, he told me he knew Chinese and some other languages like English, Thai, Arabic, Italiano, Deutsch, and even a little bit Tahiti...How can't this guy not super smart in the case that he knew sooo many languages? (Actually I often thought I was a "language geek", but in fact....) Similarly, Jacky san seemed trasferred all of his passion and talent to help everybody to maintain happy. Laughter was the word that never evaded during all these days if Jacky san was present. No matter how tired we were just like the last two days, no matter how quiet we had to keep because of the hotel, no matter how early we had to wake up in the next day's morning, every time he tried and succeed to cheer everyone up and injected happiness and warmness to people's hearts. That was exactly what I felt, which could explain why this shy Jacky san who always bankrupt because of 7000 miles girlfriends could be such a popular, smart and promising young man.

    In fact, she was the first non-typical Japanese girl I encountered when I saw Eri from the airport on Sunday. Though the boys had informed me a lot of storys, decriptions, and even rumors about this "Kawaii" girl, Eri presented me a peaceful and joyful impression at the very first. Actually, from the Olympics till first impression of China,  I still remember we were chatting about on the airport bus to hotel. Additionally, even now the feeling of the heavy hand bag of Eri chan is occuring to me some time--well, honestly, it's very heavy, even for me...Comparing Masa's kindness, Jacky's talent of consolidation, cute and pure are the words that I can use to describe our Eri chan. Time after time, Eri kept on showing her smiling face to everyone, even when everybody was a little bit drunk and sleepy, there was always possibility to see the smiling on Eri's cute face. Suddently I thought about during the fatal disease SARS, people transferred its meaning into "Smile And Retain Smile". I dare say, my feeling was like that when I saw you smile, Eri chan~^_*

   Oka chan was the last "delegate" of Keio's IIR who arrived in Beijing. At first, I was very pitiful that I could not to get Oka from the airport and actually we arranged all the Keio friends to have their first night a "sleepless" one--both Karaoke and Clubbing. Therefore the schedule made me feel a little anxious, because I'm afraid that it could be tiring, especially for girls. However, Eri didn't say anything about it although she didn't sleep for 25 hours(my fault...it was me who chatted with you and made you sleepless for more time on the night before you came...), so naturally, I felt pressure about this coming mysterious Oka. Surprised me at the first glance, Oka chan didn't impress me as a typical Japanese, she was much more American just like all the people said. "Well...fine...that's new style of Japanese youth maybe..."I said to myself like that. However, this "west coast" Oka chan, who was supposed to come from the "idiot business school of Keio", was always a right person to talk with, no matter the tiring first day or the tiring last day. Frankly speaking, especially when we went to clubbing, our Oka chan gave me an impression like Nelly Furtado, westernized and energetic, totally brand new generation, and kind of latin style and "promiscous" (I like this song...sorry...Oka you just make me think about this song...).

  All these days have passed just within in one second perhaps, for me. Maybe it's true that like people said,"Happy time is always short." Well, on my aspect, I will say, "It's totally fine that it's short, the most important thing is gradually we  got to know each other, shared the most precious memory, smiled together wholeheartedly and have enjoyed ourselves absolutely within this period." So we should all break out into laughter right? :-)))) ^o^

  At last, I want to say, for me, it is the most difficult and nervous thing to see friends off in the airport(a reason that why I hate the Beijing Capital Airport...). However, I always remember one old poem titled 思旧赋(Si Jiu Fu, Once upon a Time) written by a romantic poet of China: 向秀(Xiang Xiu), when he said farewell to best friends who may have no chance to get toghether again:

    将命适于远京兮，遂旋反而北徂。济黄河以泛舟兮，经山阳之旧居。瞻旷野之萧条兮，
息予驾乎城隅。践二子之遗迹兮，历穷巷之空庐。叹『黍离』之愍周兮，悲『麦秀』于殷
墟。惟古昔以怀今兮，心徘徊以踌躇。栋宇存而弗毁兮，形神逝其焉如！昔李斯之受罪兮，
叹黄犬而长吟。悼嵇生之永辞兮，寄余命于寸阴。听鸣笛之慷慨兮，妙声绝而复寻。停驾言
其将迈兮，遂援翰而写心！
