introducing myself briefly
Hello, my name is Yoshika. I am from Japan and now I study international culture, especially those of developing countries in Tsukuba University.
In the third grade, I am going to research about women’s enpowerment via phygical education included health education.
I have played softball for 8 years. I started playing it when I entered a junior high school. It is a little difficult but so exciting. That is why I am interested in sports, PE.
nervous trip
On 4 Feb. I was crying in my house. Because this seameo project is the first long stay experience for me and I was so nervous. This feeling is what I have never had in my life. “I do NOT want to go” I said so many times to my roommate who is my best friend.But All of my friend, as well as she, encouraged me, which made me a little be at ease.
I left for Khon Kaen on 2/5. My mother worried for me very much so she kindly came Narita airport to meet me before leaving. Taking 7 hours later after we rode an airplane we arrived at Bangkok to change airplanes. I was so tired because of long trip. As soon as I saw Thai character, I realized I am in Thailand.
While having been helped many Thailand people, finally we could arrived our destination, Khon Kaen.
On 2/7, we met other students from Philippines and Indonesia. They are so kind that we became friends soon. Their major is education at all,which was a big difference with me. Also, I found that our supporter is very reliable. All of them answered my question kindly. Furthermore, many professors seem to have some experienses to go Japan.I was surprised they said to us “おはようございます”(this means “good morning”). We concider that Japan is a good country. As I had a good time in Thailand, I thought “Living here for one month is easier and more enjoyable than I expected.”
I will do my best to make my daily life in Thailand wonderful!
