Drinking party

A drinking party was held yesterday. Some Japanese students who are interested in foreigner, international students (Englishman, German, Australian, Italian) and one of my English teacher who is from Scotland) took part in the party. Which seat can we sit were decided by lot to communicate with foreigners. I sat in front of and next to Englishmen. We talked about many things drinking and eating Nabe. Sometimes, I talked to them in English. Then, they answered in Japanese. It seemed that Japanese beer is weak than British beer. They drunk so much that I couldn't keep drinking pace with them.

What I felt the most was that they are very aggressive to study. When we choose a drink, a Englishman challenged Calpiswari which is a kind of Shotyu diluted by Calpis that he hadn't drunk and is popular in Japan. If I said the word that they didn't know, they took a memo or asked me the meaning. If they couldn't make a phrase in Japanese, they asked me how to use a phrase naturally. One of them who has been to Australia taught me some good places in Australia. The other one who has a girl friends advised me something about long-distance love. I also made efforts to talk about their interests of Japanese.

Thank them very much for having nice time! I want to talk with them more next time without getting drink power.

You seemed to enjoy the drinking party very much. I am happy to know you had a precious time with International students. I want to know what the exchange student who comes from U.K. advised you about long-distance love☆ Did you also meet his girlfriend? She is very open-hearted. I hope I can join a drinking party next time.

Thank you for writing a comment. I and other students regretted that you couldn't join the drinking party.
The international student said to me that we should get in tough with several boyfriend many times using Skype. Also, I met his girlfriend. She was very cheerful and kind. I wish I could join a drinking party next time with you!

Sorry, I cannot write in Japanese on my computer. The drinking party was a lot of fun. Thankyou for helping me practice Japanese. You were very helpful! I have never been called "aggressive to study" before! We should have another drinking party before you all leave for Australia. But I do not know if you have free time. Did you have a good New Year, and enjoy the Christmas holiday?
Sam
