    法被 (ハッピ)

    i wrote this jap passage for a newsletter for a jap volunteer class that i go to. i would think there are still some errors in it... but, anyways, just post here as well lah.

    ----

    「法被を着るとハッピー」と言うものだ。

    楽団の日本人の友達によると、そうと聞きました。

    日本に来て初めは、友達はあまりいないので、ちょっと寂しかったです。日本語は下手なばかりに、日本人と簡単な会話さえできませんでした。中学生からずっと楽団に入っていたので、日本で参加しないでいるのは、ちょっと残念でした。

    日本で、楽団に参加して以来、たくさん友達を作ったなどのみならず、様々な特別な経験も積みました。例えば、10月の磯子祭りの文化祭において、法被を着て演奏しました。とても楽しかったです。

    楽団の友達とか、ボランティアクラスの皆さんとか、日本人の友達を通じて、日本人の親切や情熱をいっぱい感じられます。

    日本にいることは、とてもハッピーなものです。法被を着たことからばかりでなく。

    Update:

    did a rough translation for the passage above since some friends asked ;) for your sake leh... hehe...


    "whenever you wear a Happi (japanese festival clothes), you will be happy"

    i heard this from my japanese band friends.

    when i first came to japan, i was a little lonely because there werent many friends here. because my japanese wasnt up to mark, i couldnt even carry out simple conversations with japanese people. i also felt a bit ill-at-ease when i wasnt playing in any band (been playing since my secondary school days).

    in japan, since i joined the band, not only did i make more friends, i also experienced various special things. one example was during the Isogo festival, when i performed with the band while wearing the Happi. it was really enjoyable.

    through japanese friends such as those from the band and the volunteer class, i can greatly feel the warmth and passion of the japanese people.

    very happy that i am in japan. and it's not only because i wore a Happi.
