留学生活 / Study Abroad life
Hey y'all, I'm Soumyadip from India. Most people call me
Sammy. I'm a M2 student at Osaka University and I'm currently dealing with mitochondrial biology. I came to Japan
6 years ago but life was not easy back then. Neither did I
have many friends, nor could I speak Japanese well. For
mingling with the locals here, I joined the astronomy cluband slowly started speaking to myclub mates in Japanese. Later on,
I joined Science Buddy where I wasable to make a lot of local and international friends. We had areally great time doing different activities together and went
on various trips. Interacting with the Science Buddy members
improved my Japanese skills quite a lot. Thanks tohelp of some of the friends I made along the way,
I was also able to establish Osaka University's
first ever cricket club and participated in theregional championship. What I'd like to say in theend is that if you guys ever feel lonely, or simply, want to practice your Japanese skills, feel
free to join Science Buddy. We will eagerly welcome you. In the next page I will briefly introduce some of Science Buddy's activities.

November : Bus Tour for International students of GSS :Bus tour to Ishikawa Prefecture and surroundings: 6 hours of toand-fro bus trip from Osaka but it was very fun, Got to create
our own designs using gold leaf and visited Tojinbo cliffs. In thebus, we played a variety of games including TABINGO. It is a typeof bingo, that I created, but played with objects that appeared on the highway instead of numbers.
April : ICHO Fest
Got to introduce the activities of Science Buddy
to a lot of outside people and let them know
about our existence. Also, got to talk about mytravel experiences in Miyazaki and Ehime. The
participants said that the quizzes involved wereinteresting.

July : ISP event:Introduced the Kansai area and its interestingsightseeing places to a group of students whojoined the online event from various parts of theworld. The event was done in Japanese and thus most of the people, unfortunately, wereprobably unable to understand it. One person literally asked us to present in English. But
nonetheless, the event ended safely.
July : Intro Quiz:
Organized an online quiz with Akiyoshi and Asshi. Got along withAsshi from this point. The quiz was to guess the song from theintroductory music or reversed form of the lyrics.
Also did a translation quiz.
The event was a success.
August : IUPS JHH Demo:
Talked to some of the incoming IUPS course students inJapanese. Three of them joined Science Buddy due to that.

November : Table-tennis:
A lot of people joined. Was very lively. Mostly became a show of strength for the students who
were good at it or had a previous record of playing the game.
December:
Picture-chain
Game:
Participated inthis fun event
but could notjoin for long.

December : Miscellaneous Games:
Organized this offline event including gestures, words and different languages. Gesture game was tomake your teammates understand a specific topic by acting it out. Hangman was the word gamewhere the players had to guess the word before the error limit was crossed. The final game wasrandomly created by me where a group of non-native speakers of a specific language were told topass over a message in that language to see whether they could convey it to the native speaker ofthe language in the end.
