But when I woke up this morning, I had a reply from him. It was 1:42 AM.😂The professor's explanations were very specific and he also recommended some reference books. I felt very grateful to him, and at the same time, I was curious about what kind of life the professor was living. Everyday is a serious battle for us.😂 **Language**: English *10 likes · 5 comments · 160 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/LkZWLQpFNNJNHD.md) --- ## 3. 8/25/2025 Today I did laundry with my favorite fabric softener, strolled around the supermarket, and more.👣😋 It was a relaxing day. 😌❣️ **Language**: English *17 likes · 1 comments · 126 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/FELFqRqmxMFNHD.md) --- ## 4. 8/24/2025 Now let's go back to Osaka.😊 The Shinkansen cleaning staff are amazing!🚄😄 During the 10-minute stop at Tokyo Station, they turn all seats in the direction of progress, collect trash, and clean the toilets. Then they bowed at the end and dashing away. They were like samurai. **Language**: English *21 likes · 7 comments · 197 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/HJOlZ3FFMDFNHD.md) --- ## 5. 8/23/2025 The university's intensive course in Tokyo ended today. The end of the long class was the final exam. When the examination was over, everyone in the classroom naturally applauded. We praised each other for their good work. I was very moved.👏😌 I'm going back to Osaka tomorrow, so I need to pack my suitcase. My life in Tokyo ended with commuting back and forth between university and the hotel.😂But it was a very valuable experience to spend time talking about various things with good classmates and concentrating only on studying. By the way, my alma mater has a mixture of new and old buildings. I found one thing that hasn't changed in 30 years: spare toilet paper in the restrooms. Nowadays in Japan, it is rare to see spare toilet paper lying around like this in public restrooms. In the past, you could see it, but now it's not there because someone would just take the toilet paper and go home without permission. My alma mater seems to be a very peaceful environment. I was very happy about that.😌 **Language**: English *19 likes · 11 comments · 154 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/AWZSOFtPSSBNHD.md) --- ## 6. 8/22/2025 （I used a translator) Today, we had a philosophy class. We learned about a lesbian couple in the United States who are deaf. They believe that being deaf is not a disability. Rather, it sharpens their other senses and makes them very happy. They thought deafness as a rich cultural identity. So, wanting their child to have the same experience, they asked a man from a family with a long history of hearing impairment to donate sperm, and gave birth to a child. And that child was the deaf child they wanted. （2002, Maryland, United States) The question is, where is the boundary between genetic enhancement and non-genetic enhancement? There were so many opinions expressed in class that the class had to be extended. **Language**: English *16 likes · 1 comments · 142 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/HTPLrLZLE3XNHD.md) --- ## 7. 8/22/2025 ​Is there any reason not to eat this?​😋 **Language**: English *18 likes · 8 comments · 127 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/BGTUpknGHaXNHD.md) --- ## 8. 8/21/2025 Today I had a pork cutlet curry at the university cafeteria.😋🍴 When I went to the library, there were many used books with the message "Please feel free to take any books home with you." I brought home(Hotel) “The Catcher in the Rye”, translated by Haruki Murakami. It's a famous novel, but I haven't read it yet. I turned on the TV in the hotel late at night and saw a Korean romantic comedy drama on. How lovely❣️ **Language**: English *17 likes · 2 comments · 180 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/BIEQWTSlBDXNHD.md) --- ## 9. 8/20/2025 ​I am currently in Tokyo to take summer intensive classes at university.😊 I enjoy going to the school cafeteria every day.😋 Today I had a chicken set meal with a large portion of rice.🍚🍴My brain told me, "You are making me work too hard, so eat more!"✴ Today I had classes at university from 10am until 8pm.📝💞😄 When I was a university student in my 20s, I had a lot of time to study and I could concentrate on it.✨ And now that I'm 50 years old, it's hard to make time for study because I have a job. But I feel that being able to study is a joy and a precious experience😊❣️It's an emotion I didn't feel in my 20s. **Language**: English *19 likes · 7 comments · 181 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/DaVOPNA5DQTNHD.md) --- ## 10. 8/19/2025 For some reason, when I stay in a hotel for a long time, I feel like eating snacks at night! Even though I never eat sweets at night at home😂 **Language**: English *14 likes · 2 comments · 143 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/RzNmZtTHSSPNHD.md) --- [View all moments on HelloTalk](https://www.hellotalk.com/partners/talk_kumi20/moments.md) [Back to KUMI's profile](https://www.hellotalk.com/partners/talk_kumi20.md) --- ## Language Exchange Partners -
