親友Ｋ My Friend K

先日、スカイプで最近イギリスに引っ越した親友Ｋと話しました。Ｋとは大学に知り合い、１０年も仲良くしてもらっている友人です。周りからは性格が正反対なので仲良いのが不思議に思われがちですが、私はＫの可愛いけど、根はとっても強いとこが大好き。そして何より寛大さ！彼女と出会ってから私は人を批判するだけではなく、受け入れる大切さを学びました。
さて、Ｋはイギリスの元帰国子女ですが、私と同じく海外生活を新婚でスタートしました。彼女曰く、やはり最初は少しホームシックになり、家事を上手くこなすのが大変と話していて、｢分かる～！｣と思いました！新しい環境に慣れるのに精いっぱいなのに、更にパートナーとの新しい生活。だけど、打たれ強く、実はしっかりしているＫ。彼女がそのうち全てを難なくこなし、イギリス生活を楽しむでしょう。彼女とも話したけど、こうやって海外生活を経験できる私たちはとてもラッキーなので、私も引き続きパリ生活を楽しみながら頑張っていきたいと思います☆

Yesterday I spoke on Skype with my good friend K who moved to London recently. I met K in university and she has been a good friend to me for 10 years. People around us have always been surprised that we are close since our personalities are the complete opposite but I love K's cuteness yet her deep down strength. And above all her generosity! After having met K, I learned the importance of accepting people and not just judging them.
Well, K is actually a former returnee of London but she has started her marriage overseas like myself. She said that at first she got a bit home sick and it was hard to manage the house work and I said "I totally understand!!". It's hard to get used to a new environment, and on top of that a living a new life with your partner! But K is tough and is actually very responsible. I am sure that soon she will be able to manage everything easily and enjoy her life in London. As I said to her, we are very lucky to experience life abroad and so I would like to keep enjoying and doing my best in Paris. :)
