We have had such awesome time in Japan. In the last few days
of the trip, we visited several temples and shrines. We got to see the Golden Pavilion-one
of the most popular sightseeing in Kyoto. We went to Miyajima island where is
famous for its ancient temples and giant Tori gate. We also visited Hiroshima
and was honored to meet and hear the story from a Hiroshima bombing survivor.
Besides sightseeing, the most rewarding aspect of the trip was
the friendship we have developed with KGU students. Despite language barrier,
we got along with others very well. I have made friends with many students. In
the farewell party, we gave hugs and promised to keep in touch. In addition, I
also became closer friends with other UA students after the trip
Before the trip, Dr. Katz has told us that KGU and Osaka university
students and faculty would be very nice to us. However, I did not expect that
we would be taken care of such nicely. I am very thankful to all the students
and faculty for accommodating us and giving us such a warm welcome and farewell
party. I want to give special thanks to Dr. Katz, Tomomi san, Akiko san, Dr.
Nakagawa, Dr. Shirakawa (Dr. Sho), Dr. Takano, and Dr. Kamiya for helping us
during the trip. The trip would not have been successful without your help.
I have had such a great experience in Japan. I am going to keep
my ICOCA card and definitely will return to Japan.
Thank you and see you all again!
