How to Make Some Foreign Friends

I suppose that making friends is not hard thing. It is up to your attitude to new people whoever you want to make friends, even though they are foreigner. In this paragraph, I show three points to make friends who are from foreign countries. First, if you are student in university of Ryukyus, you should go to Overseas Students Center. There are some chances to meet international students. For example, the center introduces international students to you as a Japanese tutor, and you can make friends easily. Second, you work at base or near it. Because the military come to the shop to buy something, you have the chance to talk them. Especially I think that a bar has more chances to talk them. In fact, I am working at bar which is near base. Since the military always comes to the bar, I can talk and make friends a lot. Finally, I believe trying to communicate with people is the best. Generally speaking, almost Japanese hesitate to speak to foreigner in English. However, you could not make friends anybody, if you do not communicate with people. Therefore, you really want to make friends with foreigner, do not hesitate but be talkative.
