On Friday, February 18, I attended a game night organized by the ASA with some Japanese friends.<\/p>\n

We played board games and of course Nintendo Switch games.<\/p>\n

One of the most interesting things we did was to play a Mario Kart tournament.<\/p>\n

I’m still not very good at Mario Kart, so I want to practice when I go back to Japan.<\/p>\n

All the members were friendly and even though my English is not very good, I was able to converse with them and make many friends.<\/p>\n

\u00a0I’m planning to have study sessions with the friends I made at Game Night and go out to eat ramen.<\/p>\n

\u00a0I’m really looking forward to it.<\/p>\n
