The Tsubame Traveler as a child

Were you a happy child?

Yes, I was. I liked playing video games and football with my friends.

Were your friends all football fans?

Yes, they were. Most kids love football in the U.K..

Were you in a club?

No, I wasn't. I played badminton a lot in high school though.

Was it nice in the UK?

Yes, it was. My hometown is nice and very safe. Sports equipment is really good here in Japan though. It wasn't very good in my school. A lot of the stuff was broken or poor quality.
