青年海外協力隊~Zimbabweでの日々~

After a long time 05/04/2015

I am writing this diary since I wrote before. I forgot to write these days? No way! I just took a short rest because I was tired of sports competition. So I needed to take a rest. And I am keeping to write diary on my notebook. But to post on this page is a little trouble because I am not good at typing.

Now, I am going outside to play soccer. So see you tomorrow.

 

Lemon tea 17/3/15

This morning I was very happy. Because DH (Dining hall) staff served lemon tea. It was tasty, sweet and made me happy.

Ok! Let’s talk about yesterday. I played table tennis with my students. For me it was after a long time since I played. But I used to play it, when I was in primary school. Actually I played very well like Ai Fukuhara yesterday. Oh! Sorry. I think you are not sure about her. She is famous as a table tennis player in Japan. By the way they made me laugh. Because their table tennis rules are in a mess. In table tennis we never hit a ball directly expect service. But they hit a ball directly without any hesitation at all. So I taught them proper rules.

Finally I am writing about love relationships. First I’d like to ask you…what’s love? I heard that we can’t get such a love relationship like teenager, when we are getting older. Recently I have been feeling it. Add to it, I don’t have interest in love. I am into English.

I am a one of their members 16/3/15

Last weekend was very exciting like I can`t tell it all to you. Especially that I really enjoyed playing soccer on Sunday at Musheke. Listen! Finally I got the team that I can play soccer, Zimuwa..? I am no sure of the mane. But anyway I played soccer as a one of their members. Unfortunately we lost the game, 2-4. But we did our best.

By the way what will you do during holiday? From April to May. Do you have any good plans? I am going to travel around Zimbabwe. So here I would like ask you. Have you ever been to Blawayo? I am going to go there. In Blawayo what are good places of sightseeing?

SAD 13/3/15

 In the morning I assessed student files. Then I was very shocked because some of them changed their score by themselves. That were cheating. I felt very sad.

By the way yesterday I got a good idea. That is like holding something like party in our house. There I am going to serve some Japanese food and introduce the Japanese culture. In future I am going to make it more flamboyant. So I am going to hold Japanese festival in this college.

I think that is good opportunity for Zimbabwean to know Japanese culture. So I can’t wait to hold it.

Facebook 12/3/15

 Yesterday I finally got the permission of making Facebook page “Masvingo Teachers’ College” from the principal. By the way why do I want to make it? Because I think this college has a lot of aspects. For example good lecture, wonderful lecturers and so on. So I want to introduce our college not only Zimbabweans but also all over the world. As before did I tell you the same thing? Did not I? Anyway I am preparing for it. First I am going to make a video introducing us.

In this college I often see pregnant women. I think they look wonderful because they are even though pregnant but they always make an effort to do their work. As I see them, I think I should work like them.

Go on!!(2015/3/11)

Wow, today is eleventh of March. Time is passing away very quickly. OK, let’s move on with my diary.

Yesterday we practiced soccer for the sports competition. So we practiced very hard. But I noticed one thing. They started to complain immediately regarding now soccer should be played. So they stopped playing. Guess! If we stop to play soccer all of sudden in the middle of a game, what will happen? Yes! Then it will be easy for our opponent to win against us. So yesterday I kept on telling them “Don’t stop playing! Go on and on and on!!” As I see it, some of them can be very good player. But not all of them. So I am going to tell them the same thing also today. I am sure that we can win the competition.

By the way I have been looking for Zimbabwe national uniform of soccer. But I have not found it yet even in Harare. So where can I buy it? Someone tell me.

Sorry(2015/3/10)

I often listen to this word “sorry” in Zimbabwe because I often fall down like a child. Then they always say to me “sorry”. But I have not got that meaning yet. I am guessing that “sorry” includes also the meaning of sympathizing not only apologizing. Is it true?

Now I am changing my topic, to marriage. Recently most of my friends are getting married. They look so happy. At same time I feel also want to get married. But I forgot the most important thing. That is I don’t have a person to get married to…OK!! Let’s stop to talk about this.

By the way the weather suddenly changes in Masvingo. One day it is very hot, another day it is very cold. I am not getting used to this weather. Look! Actually today is a little bit cold than yesterday. So I am about to wear one more jacket.
