"It was the best way to spend 17 days in Southeast
Asia. I think that says a lot about this program." |
| |
"This program was more
interesting than I had imagined. I could discuss,
meet with great professors, make friends with wonderful
students in Southeast Asia." |
|
|
"The experiences
from this program have had a great effect on my future." |
"This program gave me the experience of Southeast
Asia by myself, a chance to think and express my own opinion
in English, the discovery of problems, the motivation to
study more from now on, and excellent friends who are my
treasure." |
"My purpose of this trip was finding
things which I really want to do and finally, I found it." |
| |
"There
is so much I've learned from this program. I've learned
that people are the most interesting aspects of life
and knowledge. It is because of 'people' that we
are able to make a living and be satisfied with how
we do so." |
|
|
"I've never had
such wonderful days of my life." |
"I was especially happy that there were many occasions to communicate with young people living in Southeast Asia and feel their openness and friendliness and their thoughts on everything from favorite color to world affairs." |
| |
"At first I hesitated to speak English, feeling my English is bad. But people were so kind and heard with smile, so I can speak. Then I understand that important point is not grammar but zeal to communicate my feeling." |
|
|
"Even now I’m changing. I understand the importance of listening to other people and improving my thinking. I have been taught many things from all the members of this program. I could make really great friends like family." |
"I’m a very lucky girl to have such wonderful experiences in my first trip abroad. This is priceless thing for my life! Before, I had many preconceived ideas toward the Southeast Asian countries, for example, they are less developed than they are, or the people have much more bad feelings to Japan (because of the past). But this program has broken my prejudices! I could see Southeast Asia firsthand. It is a very energetic region and everyone I met was very very warm-hearted." |
