Cultural Exchange Program

Cleaning in Sinrensya temple

Our group in Sinrensya

Hello! From 01.07 to 08.07 I've participated in Cultural Exchange Program in Kanazawa University. During this period I've got a lot of emotions and gained a lot of experience. During this program we had the lessons of Japanese language (intensive course), communicated with Japanese students a lot and had a miraculous experience of the immersion in the culture of Japan. The most important part for me was the communication, as it helped me to improve my knowledge of language and see how the Japanese students actually live. I would like to thank all the students who helped me here, I really enjoyed time I've spent with you guys. The intensive course of Japanese that I had was impressive! Not only have I learned new things about the Japanese language, I've also had a chance to discuss Japanese economy and social situation a lot, and thus I've learned a lot of new things for myself. 

Our cultural program was amazing too! It gave me a chance to understand the deep history of this miraculous country, which I alvays wanted to do. We visited the Shinrensya temple (and helped to clean it), participated in the tea ceremony and saw a lot of Japanese traditional gardens. At the end we've participated in a symposium about the Japanese gardens, which helped me to learn even more about the traditional Japanese gardening and practice my language. 

During all this time we actively communicated with the Japanese people and trained our language skills. In my opinion, that was the greatest thing in all our journey.

I thank everyone who supported me here and everyone who gave me a chance to get all this academical experience. That was amazing, 有難うございます!
