interenational friendships of mine (2） Firstly, I love listening to popular English and German songs on the internet accordingly I search for as many as possible information about those singers on the English version web pages where there are always many fan clubs. In that way, I just simply join them and we talk about new or old albums, how much we love the videos or concerts recently held in Los Angeles, Tokyo or Dublin. It’s fun that even I have never been on the spot but I still can feel like as if I were surrounded by the flames and the passions when reading the article other fans wrote. I am sure that it is the friendships with those foreign fans that give me so much magical feeling. Secondly, the friendships beyond countries get me knowing about how foreign peers lead their lives. I have several German, Polish and American friends who are around my age. We talk almost everything such as clothes, music or newly exhibited movies. We share our opinions on school lives, and on occasions we even pretend as though we were the minister of Educational Department and talk about all the possible policies that we would love to see put into practice. It may seem unrealistic but it surely provides me with a chance to get more trenchant point of views towards the society or schools. Thirdly, when talking with my foreign friends we also talk about foreign cultures, festivals and history which gives me a chance to broaden my views towards the whole wide world. We talked by many means such as instant messages, emails or even snail mails when we get to know each other better. Among all the emails I extremely love the one from a Bavarian girl who regularly lives in Munich or Salzburg with beautiful pictures talking about the Beer Festival in Munich, Germany. (Oktoberfest in Munchen) Those pictures impressed me with those beautiful sceneries, beers in huge containers, and smoked sausages. It offers me an opportunity to know about German culture and history. It strengthens me of going to Germany and visiting it someday. I do feel that friendships between my foreign friends and mine are extremely fantastic. As I am kind of busy this year, I hope that I can contact them more often next year.
