Kibi Kokusai is the college where I coach football. They had their final team activity last weekend. After the game, I informed them I would no longer be asking them interview questions for articles. They were sad, but said, "we're sorry if the pictures were too silly during the year." I told them they were not! The Kibi Kokusai team is gearing up for offseason and hopes to have a great offseason so that they can have an even better season next year!
The Okayama Standing Bears are fighting to continue their climb back to former glory. Recently the team has not won many games, but they hope to change that in the upcoming year. Hopefully, they will have a sponsorship after a strong season.
And finally from me. I hope I offered a positive learning experience about a small part of Japan that isn't as glamorized as Tokyo or Kyoto. Okayama is small and rural but I found a variety of personalities who live there. I hope you experienced the many personalities in my articles. I hope one day you venture out of your comfort zone to experience a new culture and meet many personalities!
