Birthday Pt III: new friends

The last part of my birthday celebration came somewhat unexpectedly yesterday at lunch at school. I met up with my new friend Yuki, and she and her friends gave me a bunch of Osaka-related presents, a strawberry cake that we all ate together, and a beautiful little book they made with pictures of us in it and letters written in English saying how much they appreciated spending time with me and practicing their English. Unlike my other Japanese friends, these girls are freshmen, so I'm pretty much their first exchange student friend. I was really moved by all the effort they put into everything. I jacked some pics from Yuki's facebook, I hope she doesn't mind (I don't have any pics of my bday lunch, these are from random times).
