Hey Metal RN, thanks for your nice words - it's been a pleasure for me! - but I have not at all resolved on that scholarship and whether it should be my way... :?
The application must be filed during February and March, so I have a little time left to ponder the idea. But if I do apply I have to be sure. The Hiroshima City University has 3 (three) scholarships to provide to all of their partner universities *worldwide*, so if I apply and the scholarship is granted to my application, I must NOT draw back, because last year the applicant of our university did so and if another would, they probably would never again receive a scholarship at all...
Hard decision. Just now I have found some really good friends over here and I can enjoy my normal life in a new way. Hm...
