Going abroad can be a very rewarding experience, so don't let anything hold you back!

皆さん、お疲れ様でした！

Because of this trip, I think my outlook has definitely been broadened and I have a new understanding of something I didn't completely understand before coming...

The end is almost near, so lets live it up!

The most wonderful thing about being a year long student studying abroad is that I have had the opportunity to really experience all of the seasons within Japan...

Here is a summary of the second half of my trip to 東京.

Whatever you have an interest in, you will be able to find it in Tokyo.

Sometimes it is a lot more fruitful to get to know your new home town than spending more time exploring places outside of it.

I recently went on a short 3 day trip to Osaka (大阪), where I had my first realization of how much the city of Nagoya has become my second home.

I suggest that if you are abroad and have the opportunity to partake in something new and unexpected, do it!

Nabana Village (なばなの里) is a large garden and hot spring (温泉) that has a very famous light display in the winter

Now that the new semester has started, I am learning that I still have many things that I need to adjust to.
