Study trip to Shodoshima

Kagawa University organized a study trip to Shodoshima for international students. The weather started off very nicely, and the ride on the ferry was pleasant. We toured Kankakei Gorge, Marukin Soy Sauce Factory, Olive Park, and Angel Road (which was not on the original schedule). I believe the students had a good time, learning about Japan on-site, instead of in the classrooms.  We were 73 people, riding on two buses.

Lunch Presentation Meeting - Free format (Series #054)

For the 54th session in the Lunch Presentation Series, the students wanted to try out doing it in another format. Thirteen international students and fourteen Japanese students attended this session. In the first half of the session, they organized themselves into five groups and discussed what they liked and disliked about Japan. In the later part of the session, one representative from each group presented a summary of what they discussed. One of the aims of this format is to encourage inter-changes of viewpoints in small groups. I think the session went pretty well, and the objective largely achieved.
