Yuki's December web post!
Hi its Yuki here!
It’s been a month since I came to Seiritsu, and I have become used to the routines here at this school. I am having the most amazing experience here, becoming immersed into the Japanese culture and being able to improve my Japanese language skills significantly!
This month the international class visited the Toshogu in Nikko as an excursion to learn the historical culture of Japan.
It was an interesting site to visit as it was both mesmerising in view and educational with its history.
Although it was a one way trip of about 3 hours in length for me; I felt the trip was worth every minute of it! It’s definitely a great place to visit while in Japan!
The week after, as a preparation for two of the Seiritsu students heading off to a yearlong exchange to New Zealand; two of the international students including myself went on an excursion to the Edo shiryoukan and Akihabara.
We were unfortunately hit up with cold weather and strong wind; and were dismissed earlier than planned. However throughout the day we were able to see the contrast between the traditional culture of japan and the modern style of Japan, that so often cross over each other.
See you next month!
Yuki
