Comments from ParBcipants

QuesBonnaire Summary (2)v It was an excellent experience and I strongly recommend for those whowants to participate in future.
v It was a amazing experience! The organisation team did a great job, everything
was planned well. It was a lot of fun experiancing the foreing cultures and makefriendships, which hopefully will last a long time.
v I have learned a lot from this camp. Especially the teem meeting, expanding myknowledge and understanding international cultures and friends.
v It was a lifetime changing experience.
v It took much time to decide the theme, and we had little time to talk about
technical problem.
v It would be bemer other activities rather than visiting a company.
v If we could add some Japanese culture section and Japanese food, I will feelmuch more excited.
v It would be great if there are more Japanese students.
