Voices of the students who attended the Summer Course

Ms. YU, TING-WEI (from Taiwan)

I participated in this Summer Course for the second consecutive year this year. The course was very different from the sightseeing tour in which I participated before. I was able to learn many things, such as how to change trains at subway stations, how to communicate with the Japanese using the phrases that I learned in class and also got to learn how to get used to living in Japan. There were many new activities which I have not experienced before, like the Tokyo Bay cruise wearing a yukata and I had a real good time. I also made friends with the participants who came from various countries and I will treasure these memories.

Mr. Pasin Lertvilai (fromThailand)

We went to Fuji-Q Highland, Tokyo Disney Sea and other places on field trips from the Summer Course. The most impressive trip was the Tokyo Bay Cruise. We took a cruise around the Bay of Tokyo wearing yukata and I enjoyed it very much. The Japanese food which I thought delicious was unaju. The restaurant was near Shibuya Station and I would like to go taste it again.

My future plan is to go to the medical college of the Tokyo University and to become a doctor. I would like to come back to Japan after I graduated from the university in Thailand.

Ms. Maria Fernandez Lozano (from Spain)

I attended the Summer Course because I love Japanese culture such as J-pop. Johnny's is my favorite J-pop group. I am so delighted to be able to come to Japan this time.

Japanese people are gentle and kind just as I expected. There are around-the-clock convenience stores and the subway map is easy to follow. Melon bun is one of the tasty snacks that I found at the convenience store. I used to drop by the store every morning to buy my melon bun during the Summer Course.

I love Japan because things are very convenient in this country and there are many delicious things to eat.
