The Japanese exchange students from Nagasaki Wesleyan University were the most emotional of all the international students i had... Hmmm, their looks were really heavy for the heart. The two gentlemen were smiling but it is obvious that they feel saddened by their return to the Land of the Rising Sun. The two ladies were more expressive enough - they let their tears flow like spring water running down Mount Fuji when we bade each other goodbye. Well, what can we say... SAYONARA!
Their text messages are cool... Read on!

Very emotional messages. You really did a good job teaching them and being with them. You may deserve to be a UB ambassador to foreign universities!
