Nikenkan Version 2.0

Despite having such a busy schedule in school, I did not regret being one of the hosts for the Japanese students from Kyushu University. Over this period of time, friendships were made, my family got to interact more with the Japanese and find out more about Fukuoka. Sad to say, it was a rather short event but I think everyone including both the Singaporeans and Japanese enjoyed themselves.

Upon the arrival of the Japanese students, we suggested several activities for them to choose on certain nights. Many of them actually didn’t experience clubbing in Fukuoka due to various reasons; hence they were very excited about it. We had decided to bring them there and it was a refreshing experience for them.

It was a night when everyone let their hair down and party the night away.

The very following day, we went to Sentosa for some ball games and activities. Everyone was really sporty and the overall mood didn’t dampen despite it was raining.

Sad to say it was soon time for them to leave. Despite such a short time, close friendship ties were formed and it was sad that they had to leave. It was a rather emotional scene.

 Although I didn’t go with my guest Akihiro to many places, we chatted over the night and we were comfortable with each other presence. He wrote a piece of letter in English to show his appreciation and my Mom was very touched by it. It was a great experience for both myself and my family.
