Which events or activities did you find the most satisfying and why?

Kevin from Summer Short 2017

I enjoyed the Yamanashi Bus Trip because it provided opportunities to practice regular conversation with the teachers and staff who accompanied us, something which is harder to do during a regular school day. Things such as the peach eating and zazen practice also aren’t things one would usually do on a personal sightseeing trip.

I really enjoyed the trip to Kamakura. Visiting many of the famous historical sites with new friends and just having a good time was very meaningful. Staying in the Ryokan was also very interesting experience.

I loved meeting new people in my classes and being able to practice Japanese almost every day. I loved living in Japan as if I were Japanese and absorbing the culture.
