We came from Jilin Universityof Foreign Studies in China.
Starting July 7, we started the
CUC summer camp for two
weeks. It is the first time that
we three came to Japan. Have
hope and longing. When wecame to school, we started a
training camp with students
from different countries. For
two weeks, the training life isnoisy but fun. The teacher who talked about the difference of the cultureof each other and felt the difference of the culture of each other, and theteacher who took care of our life, was able to help with the heart. We are
grateful too. During the lesson
we followed two teachers tolearn about the disaster in Japanand the attitude and behavior of
the Japanese people after thedisaster. Features of Japanesesociety. People who come fromdifferent countries sit together
and share the view and view of
the class and the difference
between Japan and Japan. He
taught me many things. When we finally announced it, we were able toknow the social movement of different times by the country. We reallygained a lot of knowledge in the past two weeks. We are so happy.

私たちは中国の吉林外国語大学から来ました。7 月 7 日から二週間の CUC 夏キャンプを始めました。私たち三人とも日本に来たのは初めてです。
期待と憧れを持っています。
学校に来て、私達はそれぞれ国の学生と一緒に合宿生活を始めました。この二週間、合宿生活はうるさいですが、楽しいです。みんなで交流して、お互いの文化の違いを感じて、私達の生活をお世話になった先生はおしゃ

Shanghai Lixin University of Accounting and Finance
上海立信会计金融学院 付金秀 Jinxiu FuThis is my first time to Japan and I fell in lovewith Tokyo when I arrived. Teachers here arefriendly and warm-hearted to us. I love them.
I think this program is wonderful sinceparticipants here are from different schools
and different countries and we can learn fromeach other. Also practice our English better.
What’s more, in such a environment I also
learned how to make new friends andimproved myself from other people’s life
experience.
The most memorable experience here is when
I went to Ichikawa Station to take a picture ofsunset, I got lost and an elder Japanese man
helped me to go to the roof. He did not only
told me how to go but take me there andwatched me leave. I was really moved by his
behavior.
Happy time is always short. Best wishes to
CUC Summer Program and best wishes to CUC. Hope to see you again!

上海立信会计金融学院 方纪星 Jixing Fang
It is a great honor for me to attend this summer
camp. Two weeks is a precious memory for me.
What impressed me most was the day of thegroup presentation, every member of the grouptried their best and completed the task perfectly.
In this summer camp, I learned many different
cultures and made friends from different countries.
I love everyone at this summer camp and I will
always remember the best two weeks.

上海立信会计金融学院 徐敏慧 Minhui Xu
CUC に来て二週間、本当に多くのことを学びました。
両親がいなくて独自に日本へ来たのは初めてなので、心の中ではちょっと緊張しています、日本の鉄道路線は複雑すぎますから。日本に来る前に、学校にスケジ
ュールに関する情報がありませんので、自分で国際センターにメールし、ピック
アップ場所等を聞いてみました。CUC から詳しい標識の空港地図が届きまして、心から感謝しています。空港に到着した
ところ、CUC の先生方々がすでに待っているのを見て、緊張感が急に飛ばされ、ほっとしました。
すべての活動を参加して感じたのは、CUC サマープログラムは非常に完璧で素晴らしい計画だと思っています。授業によって日本の事や、日本と各国の衣食住の違いとかを知ることができて、活動によって日本の伝統的文化をも体験できました。私は N 2 がちょうど合格したレベルなので、最初は、全日本語の授業は基本的に聞き取れませんでした。しかし、この二週後の体験で、日本語聴解のレベルは大いに上達したと思います。また、豊富なスケジュールがあり、木版印刷、書道、ブルーベリー狩り、海ホタルを見て、日本の大体の世界を二週間以内に十分に理解しました。一番忘れられないのは浴衣体験です。浴衣は本当に綺麗で、着て写真を撮るのが嬉しかったです。第一週の朝は毎日管理人に七時半に起こされて、私の生物時計は元に戻って健康的になりました。でも、二週間目はみんな疲れてきて、毎日 30 分ほど朝寝坊しています。管理人は本当に厳しくて、毎日みんなが帰ってくる時間を記録して、ごみの分別を教えます。これも私達の最大の楽しみです。
この二週間は CUC にいろいろお世話になりまして、本当にありがとうございました。

Southwestern University of Finance and Economics
Japan's study tour experienceI think this study is very meaningful. I have met many foreign friends andexperienced the culture of different countries. I studied the grassroots movement inJapan and visited many places and learned how to make woodblock prints. Of course,
the most impressive thing about this event was the Yukata experience. People in all
countries wear different robes, different colors, blue, pink, purple and so on. I am apink robes, my experience is very good. I wear it and take photos with many friends. I
hope to have a cloak next time.
I am very grateful to CUC for giving me this opportunity to experience theJapanese culture and interact with international students.

It was a great experience. I made many friends and learned about Japaneseculture and traditional clothes. I especially like the Yukata experience and wood
carving. Through this summer camp, I learned a lot about the culture of othercountries, especially the difference between Japanese customs and customs and othercountries through classes.
In this activity, I was most impressed by the Yukata experience, we tried all kindsof beautiful Yukata, and took beautiful photos, I hope Chinese han clothing will be
more and more popular among young people.
Japanese dress culture has also aroused my great interest. Japanese people pay
much attention to their clothes in both formal and informal occasions. On formal
occasions, men and most young and middle-aged women wear suits. Men wear suits
and usually wear ties.
In the aspect of table manners, Japan and China have table manners in formal
occasions. Although in modern Japanese society, not so strictly abide by, but in the
cocktail party, in order to express their respect to the elders, the boss said, we often
still see the following scenario: the highest level (the highest position) figure sitting ina seat furthest from the export, and then according to the status of the high and low, inturn, sorting and sit toward the exit. These are the places I am interested in.
In the future, I will have the opportunity to experience more Japanese culture, feelthe Japanese society, and learn from Japan's advanced.

D’ARTOIS LENS
Hello, we are the students from the University of Artois, IUT de Lens. After
12 hours of flight, Kota came to get us at Narita airport. The first day waspretty hard because of the jet lag but after a day or two we were in great
shape. We met incredible people and definitely made friends for a longtime. We loved all the different activities especially when we tried the
Yukata and the welcome party because we felt very welcomed by thestudents and the staff. We would love to come back to Japan soon and wewould come back to CUC to say Hi ! We also want to see again ourJapanese correspondant from CUC because we became great friends.
Thank you for everything that you have done for us and see you again
hopefully !

Team France from Lille
DEHAUT Alexandra
OGER Elisa
Hi everyone !
We are Alexandra and Elisa from the university of Lille in the north of France. Sadly this is now theend of the CUC program, we had an amazing experience and we met incredible people from allaround the world.
We arrived a day earlier in Tokyo so we had thetime to visit a bit the city, a really incredible place.
The first night everybody was jetlaged and tired so
we pretty much all went to bed very quickly but on
the second day we finally all met and eventually
discovered each others. At the welcome party, we
played a game that made us talk to CUC students,
so that was pretty cool !
Those two weeks have been amazing for us because we both had the occasion to discover Japan in
its true form : the culture, the food, the very friendly people and the very on-time schedule. Meeting
all these people from different countries helped us expend our mind and discover different culturethat we would have never discovered without the program.
We’ve loved all the activities we’ve done, especiallywhen we tried the Yukata or when we went to Asakusa.
Through those activities, we had the opportunities todiscover the city of Tokyo and the japanese culture withthe help of the CUC students.
Thanks to our two teachers, Anthony and Kimberly, we
had the chance to learn about Japan, its history,its
manners and everything that make this country soamazing.
To be honest, we had troubles to get used to the early classes but especially the food which is very
very very different from France, we were pratically dreaming of bread and cheese.
We want to thank the CUC program for welcoming us during two weeks, it has been an incredible
journey where we had the chance to meet lots of fantastic friends. We hope to come back soon,
Arigatou gozaimasu !

IndiaSir Padampat Singhania University
Divya Mulchandani/ Himadri Sharma/ Srishti Parashar/ Vinita Gupta/
Rajveer SinghFirst of all, we would like to express our deep sense of gratitude to Chiba
University of Commerce for inviting our school and hosting the summer
program. We had the best experiences of our lives. We were overwhelmedby Japanese hospitality. On the first day at CUC, we were briefed about thetwo weeks program and the schedule to be followed by us in the coming
weeks.

Japanese culture and language session were very fascinating. We got
enormous opportunities to enlighten us with various worthwhile lectures
presented by Prof. Fujisaki, Prof. Sachihiko Harashina. Prof. Kimberly etc. We
learned about business and social relations in Japan, grassroots citizen
movement in Japan, challenges facing Japan, Ethical commerce andsustainable development goals, etc. Further, presentation at World tour at
CUC high school was the milestone. The program gave us a wholesome
platform to present ourselves at an international forum, both in a groupand individually.
When we went for the excursions, CUC students accompanied us and they
guided and showed us around very well with a lot of compassion andjoyfulness. The Japanese students, faculties, staff, and people were all niceto us, ready to lend a helping hand ever.
We got opportunities to visit Asakusa temple and experienced religious
establishment of Shinto and Buddhism view in Japan. The visit to Akihabara,
Disney Sea, Blueberry garden, Edo museum and Japan bay to Tokyo
astonished us.
Our experience of sharing rooms was a great experience for us not only tomeet new students but also to know the different culture and language ofother countries.
The afternoon activities that we
did were all very exciting,amazing and exclusive. Our
favorite events were Yukata
dress up, Uchimizu, woodblock
print, and Japanese calligraphy.
We are grateful to the CUC for
givingus
thevaluable
opportunity to participate in thesummer program.

Indonesia Team from University of Sumatera
Utara

Hello, we are the students from Universityof Sumatera Utara in Medan, Indonesia.
Two of us were really excited to attend the
CUC Summer Program in this year to follow
the activities which were really fun. Since
this wasOn the first day at CUC we met a lot offriends from other countries and Japanese
friends that are really friendly during the
program. At the welcoming party, it wasvery good. A lot of foods served for us andalso we met many CUC students that werereally excited to talk to us. Also, we arefrom Medan right, and we feel really happy
that we met the representative from
Ichikawa International Exchange Programthat is really friendly and we took somepictures. It was really warm and surprisingly
Ichikawa and Medan City is sister city which
it makes a warm connection between us
and all Japanese.
The Japanese Culture and Language Lesson
was very interesting and we enjoyed ourtime in learning the Japanese Culture morewhich can add our knowledge about it. Also,
we learn about social movement in Japan
which was talking about what happened
during the disaster in 2011 in Japan.
In here we are supposed to feel the way ofJapanese people do, like sleeping in the“futon” and taking a bath in the hot spring.
Actually at first time we felt culture shock
which we never did that in our country. But
so far we enjoyed it.

The opportunity here was really big, we felt
glad that we could meet our Mayor andIchikawa Mayor in the 30th Commemorationof celebration for Sister City in here.
Therefore we would like to say thank you somuch for giving the opportunity for us.
For the last thing we do hope that next year
we from Indonesia could send therepresentative to this CUC Summer
Program and could be able to maintain therelationship between USU and CUC as wellas Japan and Indonesia.

Hello, we are the students from the College of Management and Academic Studies (COMAS) in
Israel.
After 18 hours of flight, we arrived in Osaka where we traveled and had the best time. After that, wewent to Kyoto for a couple of days. in the end, we arrived in Tokyo on our way to the CUC.
The classes of Tony and Kimberly had great value to us and also the many activities such as the trip to
Chiba, the Japanese language lesson and the beautiful view of Asakusa.

For us the memorable moment was the trip to the high school, seeing the daily life of a student in Japanand the musical performance was amazing. The world tour in high school was really fun and thestudents were excited and curious about our country and culture.

we are glad we had the opportunity to meet amazing people from many different countries. It washeartwarming to see how we can connect and enjoy our time together. it's an experience we'll neverforget.
Also, we want to thank the staff of the CUC. Even though we are a lot of students, they managed toprovide us with personal attention and all the assistance we need. We are grateful for that.
We conclude this seminar by learning more about Japanese culture and manners, how unique theculture of this nation and the significant events that made the history of Japan. Also, we have been
exposed to other cultures from students who participated in this seminar and this gives us anotherperspective on our life in Israel to learn how we can improve and develop.

First of all, I am glad that I joined 2019 CUC Summer Program, and made it till the end.
This program is full of delicately organized activities such as local touring, wood printing,and traditional costume experiencing.
Moreover, staying in traditional Japanese styled dormitory with bunch of international
friends was the most valuable part during this program. Every night we spent much time toshare our own stories.
I didn’t expect that this program would be this much exciting. I experienced not only
Japanese culture, but also international cultural differences between various countries.
Thank you for giving me this opportunity. I would never forget this summer for good.

Junseo Lee
私は前から日本での生活を夢見てきました。
ところでこのプログラムを知り合って良い機会に参加することになりました。 私はいつも日本の文化をメディアで見て体験したし,一方では憧れの気持ちも持っていたんです。 そして,CUCの夏のプログラムで経験し,沢山のことを感じました。 日本現地で日本語を使って自然に日本語の実力も向上するようになり,各国の学生たちと疏通しながら色んな考えをすることができて考えの幅も広くなったと思います。 また授業も日本語で行われることを聞きながら日本の大学生
活も間接体験できたと思います。 このプログラムを終え,他地でたくさんの人たちと交流することができて良かったし,次にもこんな機会があったらまたCUCに来たいと思っています2

Song Bom, Park Seunghyeon, Kim Jiwon, Im Yejin

Overall, 2019 CUC Summer Program was very well-organized, offering us many kinds ofexperience in Japan. It was interesting to learn the Japanese language and culture.
Through the language class, we were able to not only learn the Japanese language itself,
but we also got to meet the CUC students who were very welcoming. In other classes,
we learned about the unique Japanese culture and the social issues that Japan iscurrently facing. We were very excited to discover parts of Japan that we were notfamiliar with. In addition, there were a lot of eye-opening field trips including tour of
Chiba, visit to Asakusa and Tokyo Edo Museum. Furthermore, we had the privilege toeat different food from many countries and learn distinctive history and culture of eachcountry through World Tour at CUC. It was such a special experience to meet everyone
from all around the world. Finally, there were presentations in Find My Japan andKimberly’s class that were very impressive and thought-provoking. 2019 CUC Summer
Program was such a meaningful experience to all of us and it will be never forgotten.

全体的にスケジュールがよく作られたと思いました。特に授業も外国人にも分かりやすくしてもらいました。日本の文化とか言語や伝統まで学ぶことができましてどこでもできない経験をしていろんなことを思う機会になったと思いました。または日本が今直面した
社会的問題とかこれから頑張らないといけない部分までも触れることになって興味深いだなと思いました。しかも同じ国から来た人たちだけではなく、世界各地から来たたくさんの人たちとの交流が授業ではもちろん、いつもあってすごく貴重な経験でした。この学校の生徒
たちもいつも優しく歓迎してくれて暇な時がなかったぐらいでした。授業がないときには千葉の観光をみんなでしたり、サポータの学生たちと東京に行ったりしながら楽しんでました。

Universidad de GuanajuatoThis was the first time that Mexico, our country, was invited to this magnificent
summer program, and at the same time, our university, the University of
Guanajuato,
forwhich we feel really
afortunate to live thisexperienceinacountry very different
from our own.

Despite having had a 16-hour flight, we were happy to visit Japan for the first timeand its culture that continues to impress us until our last days here. What surprised
us the most when we arrived on July 7 was the order, silence and kindness of the
airport staff, because Mexico is a bit noisy country, and the permanent silence wasstrange for us.
Our most significant cultural shock
was the use of the showers,
because there were no divisions
between them, and sharing thebathroom with people we started
to meet was a bit scary. At first we
did not understand the purpose ofthis and the philosophy behind it,
but with the passage of time we
could see that friendship can beestablished by speaking in theshowers.

During this program we not only learned about Japanese culture, but also about
the culture of the other participating countries, and to know the political, social andeconomic reality of the countries by people who live that reality, and not only
through news and social networks. As well as getting to know the students of CUC,
who were supporting theactivities of the program,
and were interested in
knowing our cultures andat the same time we wantto thank for their patienceand hospitality.
However, it was not only
a cultural experience, italso gave us academic
learning with classes ofsocial movements anddiscussionsofthedifferent opinions of ourcolleagues, as well as
guided visits to different places in the city, such as the Edo museum, the blueberry
farm, the visit to Asakusa and thank the president of Ichikawa for his hospitality.
This was an unforgettable experience, because we were able to know the reality ofJapanese society first-hand.
We thank the CUC for providing our university with this opportunity, being the first
university in Latin America to be invited, as well as all the directors and staff of theInternational Center, for the logistics and punctuality behind each of the activities,
and their good attitude every day. We are waiting for you soon in Mexico, adios.

Moscow State University“When we first arrived in Japan with our luggage lost it was ordinary Japanese people who supported us
first” – These are the words we started our speech for the mayor with.
That’s a lie. All those people, who supported us during the days are not ordinary. Starting from Jeffrey
who helped with clothes, Alim who spent much of his time guiding us on the way to the shops spending
precious time in the start of the exam week to members of the stuff group such as Hiroko, Hiroki, Yuriko
and others who supported us all the way in our difficult situation.
These people are not ordinary because they work on something bigger than themselves. They try to
make the world a better place.
We think that the program was a great success. Thanks to the CUC summer school we were able to

chat about our countries in the late evening with guys from Israel while eating Japanese snacks
preparing presentations about wifi/signs and other things in Japan while playing boardgames
dance to the Gangnam style and other hits with students all around the world
go to the manga shop with CUC students and bet who knows more of it
Teach Korean girl how to use chopsticks (that was a funny one:)
Exercise every two days with students from Israel until we can’t go on anymore
Ask professors and students whether they believe that emperor is related to God (Hi, Reece:)
Give a presentation about Marxism ending with the reverse joke
And carry an Indian girl on the back to the shrine while hearing “Oh my God, we are going todie!” every two stairs

The list could easily go on:)
CUC summer school didn’t teach us some formal life in Japan which can be lost in the time. It let us diveinto the real culture with its beliefs, traditions and modern ways of living. After 2 weeks, ourunderstanding became not the image from the old book but the view from the modern submarine.
All these people whom we’ve met here are not ordinary. And we want to spend more time again among
these stars.
We wish you the best luck. See you in Russia

Yifang Wang
Before coming to japan, I was afraid of speaking in English or Japanese, and worried
about if I can make friends or not. The first day I got here, I felt so tired and not get
used to everything, it made me want to go back to home as soon as possible. But few
days later, I know some friends from other countries, everyone is so nice. And wewent to asakusa with cuc students, they take us to eat some desserts then we even
got lost. It was really fun! Everyone is so heartwarming.
And cuc students are so kind, they bring us to many places, like karaoke, eating sushi.
Even though this is not my first time to japan, I still experience so many thing I've
never done before! My favorite activity is yukata experience, this was my first time towear it, and we took lots of pictures. I enjoyed the activities a lot, it made me get toknow more about Japanese culture. I really like this summer camp, I hope I can comeback to japan soon.

Yanchi Sun
At first, I just felt nervous because its my first time to participate in this kind of
project.
However, when the class and activity started, I met lots of people from different

countries, chatting with them and sharing our own cultures , it was really interesting.
And also met some Japanese, thanks them for helping a lot. Two weeks in Japan, Ialso experienced the local culture like wearing Yukata, making wood block prints,
Japanese calligraphy and so on.
In the weekend, we went to Shibuya and Akihabara , at there we saw the famouscross road, it was a good memory to me. Thanks CUC for giving us this nice chance tojoin this project !

Visit to the Mayor of Ichikawa City
Ruby Lin
It's my first time to go aboard by myself. So everything is really interesting to me!
At the beginning, it really scared me that I have to take a bath in the public bathroom.
But now it's pretty easy!
The World tour activity is significant . We introduce Taiwan not only to Japanese
students but also other country's students. We brought a lot of taiwanese snack andalso eat many snack from the others. It's really a great opportunity to try othercountry's culture.And the most memorable thing is wearing Yukata. It's a very special
experience that I have never tried before.
Also, I make some friends from different country. We go shopping.sing karaoke andeat takoyaki together . I hope that someday I can go to their country and visit them.
All in all, It was really a wonderful experience in CUC and I will never forget it!

National Taipei University of Business【Hsuan Hsuan Chen 陳萱瑄】
After my senior told me how amazing this program is, I decided to join thistime. This is my first time to meet so many foreigners from different countries inperson. And to communicate with them every day during this program is anincredible experience. In Taiwan, we don’t really have this kind of opportunity to talkto foreigners, so this experience is really special to me. I like every tour in thisprogram, it was impressive to go out with different supporters every time. Those
supporters are kind and friendly, it’s nice to be friends with them. After all, I reallyenjoy my time staying here for two weeks. I’ll always remember this unforgettable
experience I had been through.

【YUN CHANG 張蘊】
Hello everybody! I’m from Taiwan. My name is YUN CHANG from National
Taipei University of Business. This is my first time came to Japan, and this is also myfirst time to go abroad, so I really cherish this opportunity of CUC summer program.
I’ve already studied Japanese for three years but before I came here, I’ve nevertalked to any Japanese, so I’m really glad to make so many friends here. I made not
only Japanese but also lots of people from the other countries as my friend.
Japanese are really kind and hospitable. I appreciate so much that you
prepared so many activities for us, and let us learn more about the culture of Japan.
Maybe if l have another chance, I’ll visit CUC again, and if you also have an
opportunity, welcome to Taiwan.本当にありがとうございました【SHIN YANG WANG 王欣陽】
This trip has been a life-changing experience for me. I learned so much about
languages and cultures in such a fun and efficient way.
I have been studying English for almost ten years now. However, I was always
afraid of speaking English with Foreigner. The same thing happened when I waslearning Japanese, too. I have been learning Japanese for more than two years now,

but I didn't have much chances to talk with a native speaker before. So whenever I
get to speak in Japanese, I will get nervous and couldn't form a complete sentence ina short time.
In this summer camp, I was so lucky to have people from around the world tobe my roommates. We have an American, Korean, Indonesian, and an Israeli in ourroom. We speak English everyday. We became so close to each other in such a shorttime. At some points, we even forgot that we are all from different countries. And wewould exchange the difference between each country and share cultural experience
everyday. It's such a memorable experiences I don't think I will ever forget.
This camp is not only a fun way to experience different cultures, it is also an
important way to eliminate discrimination and misunderstanding between eachcountries by truly, sincerely communicating with one another.

い文化や考え方を学びました。こうやって多くの国の人達と合宿生活を送るのも初めてで、毎日新しいこと（主に生活習慣の違い）を知って、ショックを受けながらも楽しくやってきました。
日本に来て一番衝撃なのは、日本人の丁寧さです。買い物するとき、店員さんは必ずお辞儀をする所や、必ずお札を両手で受け取る所など。
また、ゴミの分類も細かくてしっかりしていて、すごく尊敬しています。
その他にも、授業で日本が今面している国際的な問題や災害、日本
社会において女性への差別なども学びました。
各国の皆とお互いの国の違いを語り合って、様々考え方を知りました。
帰国したあと、このプログラムで学んだこと、経験したことを活かし、これからも頑張っていきたいと思います。

First of all, We are so glad that we were invited to come to CUC andspent our wonderful time here.
As a student who major in accounting, I heard that CUC did well inaccounting competition. When I arrived here, I was impressed by theinternationalization of Chiba University of Commerce. I knew that many
supporters of our summer program were major in global study department.
Many of them have been to different countries and the images of our homecountries in the class that they gave were also very interesting. Moreover, many
international center staffs are multilingual. Specially, Hiroyuki San can speak
Chinese very well and he helped us a lot. We are so grateful for that.
Secondly, We have received a good reception in Japan, all thanks toeveryone at CUC. From visiting Asakusa to making wood block prints,
everything is organized and well arranged. In the class, the teachers also tried
their best to let us know more about Japanese culture and understood eachother's country, I think it benefits a lot. The most meaningful part I think is thateveryone shared one citizens movement of their countries. This part broaden
my horizons and I was so impressed about all the effort we do for a betterworld.
At last, I made a lot of friends form different countries and learn a lot of
from them. I am looking forward to visiting their hometown one day.

Memorable Experiences
Places we went
There are a lot of activities for example, tour of Asakusa. We went by train with the two
students from CUC. They were very nice and taught us how to pray in the temple. Thenthe other day we went to Edo Tokyo Museum. There were full of ancient items displayedin the museum.

“Activities we will never forget”

There are a lot of activities that we are impressed such as making wood block prints.
This activity was very fun and we have never done before and Japanese calligraphy, welearnt how to write in Japanese with paintbrush. It was wonderful. We will never forget!

Team Scotland from UHI

Hello everyone, we are from the United Kingdom, represent Scotland. When weapplied for that summer program, we were not aware that would be as amazing
and unforgettable than it was. We arrived to Japan after a long journey, a bit
exhausted but with full of hope. On the welcome party we met a lot of warm
welcoming students and staff who made the party brilliant. That was the moment
when we had to realise there would not be anything to be afraid of, that two weeks
would be incredible. And yes, it was!
We have to mention the pupils from the CUC High School. The performance, theway how did they act were perfect, moving and one of the best memories. Not a
lot eyes were without tears. Another day we had beenpleased to meet with the deputy of Mayor. We wereso proud that she rescheduled her day to meet with
us. Probably you have already known, her welcoming
was as nice as the others.
We had different opportunities to know more about
Japanese culture, for instance we had some interesting
lecturers, studied about the language or at least to try
to speak and write that. We discovered the country,
especially Chiba andAsakusa.
Our memories will be with us forever. We muchappreciate the opportunity to be in Japan and also
we would like to say thank you for everyone who
helped us and provided the appropriate support.
Thank you so much! And 3-2-1 See-you-ccccc University of Nebraska – Omaha

We have had a wonderful time here in
Japan. We feel that we have been fully
embraced by the culture and society herewith Japan. From traversing the metro towalking through the numerous shrines
around Japan, we believe that the opportunity here was truly an enlightening experience.
We have met plenty of wonderful friends here. From Russia, Israel, Mexico, Taiwan, United
Kingdom, and all the other accompanying schools. It was truly eye opening to the fact that we not
only enjoyed the Japanese culture, but
the other cultures as well. Many
memories of been made here andwe’re sure we will all be travelingoutside of our country again. It was
grand that we could aid in helping
other’s learn English also. The classes
were well conducted, and enjoyable.
Learning about the Japanese culture
within class and testing knowledge inthe real world really added to our experience.

Thank you for a wonderful opportunity to experience the Japanese way of life. We are forevergrateful.

University of Hawaii, Kapiolani Community College
We believe that each and every one of us, including students from other Universities have
had the Once in a lifetime opportunity. Being able to Create new Friends and Exchange culturesfrom different parts of the world does not come too often. These two weeks have been full ofJoy, Laughter, and excitement. We believe that the most memorable experience was being able
to explore the city of Tokyo with our friends. We all have been to Japan before, however wewere with our friends or part of a tour guide. It is definitely a different experience when
exploring cities with your friends. From this program, we were able o learn about traditional
Japanese culture, as well learning more in depth about the tragedy that has occurred on
3.11.2011.

Xin chào! At first, We want to thank to Chiba University of Commerce for inviting us to this summer program.
After two weeks, the leghthen of time is neither short nor short but we had many unforgetable memories. This
article is about our experience during CUC summer program 2019.
At class, we have studied about economics and society of Japan. The most impressive is after watching videosof the Fukushima nuclear disaster after the double disaster in 2011. Nuclear power has never yielded any
benefits other than bringing a huge income to energy companies. Therefore, the citizen try to prevent the
government from developing nuclear energy. Overall, We want to thank to Prof. Kimberly and Prof. Athony
for giving us much knowledge.
After class, we had many activities with friends who come from 13 different countries. We visited to Edo
Museum to learn more about the lives of Japanese people under this dynasty. We worn Jukata, made print
wood block, went to strawberry farm, visited Tokyo Wan Aqua-line. We made friends with many supportersfrom CUC. CUC's students are very friendly and willing to help us any time. Thank you for your support.
Finally, two weeks are such a short in each person's life, but this is a time with precious and unforgettable
experiences for every students who joined this program. Thank you, CUC! Thank you, Japan!
ありがとうございました!

Message from the International Center
I am delighted that the 9th CUC Summer Program was another resounding success. This year, we had 61
participants from 21 universities, with two accompanying professors. From the first welcome to the last farewell,
we could see the bonding process both inside and outside the classrooms. It was wonderful to see the students
forming friendships which we hope will endure the test of time and form a basis of true mutual understanding andgoodwill. Congratulations and many happy returns to all participants. We hope your introduction to Japan was a
happy one, and we look forward to seeing many of you return to Japan on private visits. Be sure to look us up here
at CUC when you do and keep us posted on your whereabouts, achievements, and adventures!
