I miss the Australian accent!

Since coming to Japan, I have met many Americans, but have only met one Australian. Hence have been hearing a lot more American accents than the Aussie accent. Just now I was listening to a sermon from Hillsong, and while listening to it, not only the message was great, but the Australian accent made me felt excited! The Australian English was very pleasing to my heart~

I love American accent, but Australian accent makes me think of Australia! It feels homey and makes my heart glad to hear.

Wow, I didn't realise that I am already missing Australia until I hear the Australian speaking to me~~

This is rather funny. Logically, this shouldn't be the time to miss Australia but to enjoy every excitement that is in Japan. However, I think I am feeling a bit "home sick" already^^

Thanks to my trip to Japan. Until I came to Japan, I didn't know how much I love Australia.

Japan is also fabulous! It's the country I have been longing to come, and now I am so thankful for this privilege to be here.

I love you Australia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From lovely Japan
Quick update:
School started on Monday, classes have been great so far, besides not yet used to the strict rules regarding class attendances , manners and long contact hours (doubled from my faculty at Melb). Though the subjects I am taking are very interesting, especially those on Japanese studies. I can't wait to learn more abot Japan and its history and culture more in depth. Hoping that my Japanese improves faster~

I think your feelings for Japan is somewhat similar to my feelings for Philippines :P.Though not everything is great, very grateful to be here.
I miss the Australian accent too. I think they sound cool, but I hardly ever hear it these days. Australians are pretty rare in US and Philippines..

I am so blessed

I am so thankful for what God has given me in Japan. I am thankful for the amazing Bible Study Fellowship here in Japan. Not only do we have a godly lady as our teaching leader, that speaks with great enthusiam, wisdom and clarity; but also have wonderful Japanese Christian ladies coming to seek the word of God with great desire and expectation EVERY WEEK. What wonderful works God has been doing here. I am super excited for God's cultivation in Japan, it's amazing!! I am thankful for the church I belong to. I am thankful for my bible study leader and lovely group members who greet me with love and care. The first time I went to the church, I was warmly welcomed by the people and never felt left out even for a minute! I am thankful for the opportunity to be able to share my faith with some people I have met. Please pray for my friend, who told me today that she would also like to come to church with me this Sunday. She is a girl in my dorm, from Cambodia and her name is............

Truth

Sometimes truth is difficult for us to comprehend, but we are to understand it but not simplify it! I find this statement an important claim when understanding what truth is. If truth is hard to grasp, we need to wait patiently and study constantly in order to understand instead of changing and twisting it. This is a good reminder and good encouragement for me
