I miss PII so much. One of the greatest language programs out there, where one learns just about as much as one plays and laughs (and eats).
The Princeton kids are as normal as any Harvard one, some of them very pretty with angel's voice (Jordan-san =)), or very cool half-Jewish-half-Asians (Nikki-san =)).
The Yale kids are rock-awesome. And again, for the second time in my life, I made a wonderful Yale friend during a summer program - Haiyan is, as they called her, the natural comedian, and so cute in her innocence. A great walking buddy (this girl is incredible, she can walk whole day and not feel anything, till the next day ;)), invincible tofu lover, intense diet-obeying eater and finally non-stop-asking speaker with a very very sexy accent (double wink). She is a great match to the other Yale student - Katheryn, who is calm, composed and very very sharp :).
The Georgetown kid is a beer-lover. With his random erratic knowledge of German and a bit of Chinese, this Caucasian Tim-san always gets the conversation rolling. Tim, I hope you are enjoying yourself, wherever you are now!
And of course, never forget the UPenn kid - the most hilarious male in PII, a male version of Haiyan. Of course if I didn't know him (and I didn't for the first few weeks), I would think he is the biggest sketcher out there (and so I did ;P). But nah, Wen-san is just way too cool. And how many Taiwanese-Brazilians do you know out there? I know only Wen-san.
But the Harvard kids are still the best.
Yizi for being the prettiest yet so cool.
Yu for being the most knowledgable and refined.
Vivian for being the most fashionable flower-thief out there, and probably the only PII who knows how to put on a yukata.
Romeo, for being the most handsome African-American student in the program (and the only one conveniently), who sent Japanese girls's heart throbbing every time he flashed his Obama smiles.
And finally Brandon, for being simply himself. There are no words to describe Brandon, but there are a few of his quotes that sent me laughing hysterically:
"I generally don't trust people. I think they LIE." (on the last day of classes, eating okonomiyaki)
"My host mother is freaky. She told me to be careful of Japanese girls, because they want to attack me."
"I went to onsen and there this guy took a picture of me showering."
PIIが大好き、ずっと 大好き！
