5月/May：Card game

Hersa Milawati ( Indonesia)

Hi! I’m Hersa from Indonesia, and I will be graduating this September 2022. I came to Japan in October 2019 topursue Ph.D course in Chemistry. Doing Ph.D course undoubtedly takes immense quantity of energy, effort, andwork that very often cause yourself burning out. I want to share some insight or words that I felt I needed the mostduring my Ph.D course: know that having many or even thousands of failed experiments is O.K. you are not alone,learn from it, find help, and hang in there, and most importantly, do not forget to give yourself a break.
Speaking of taking a break, I am so grateful that International Salon exist in GSS. It is not just mere place for me toshoot the breeze with fellow Japanese/international students or Science Buddy
eventful activities, it is also a perfectly good place to sit, relax (or sleep) to leave
all your troubles behind (hahaha, I really mean it). Come visit the salon more often
and you will see how soothing the room is to relax.
I am truly thankful for the endless guidance and assistance all International Salon
has given me for the last three years, especially to Goto-san and Nishiguchi-san.
To all fellow Japanese/International student or Science Buddies, mere thank you
will never be enough for me to say how lucky I am to meet and get to spend timewith you. I love you guys all! I hope I will be seeing you again.

6月/June : Sports event
Played soft volleyball and badminton.
Everyone enjoyed them while sweating.

博士後期課程修了

Darcy Garza ( Philippines)

Hello SB! I am Darcy (ダルシー) from the Philippines. I recently received my PhD
degree in Chemistry from Osaka University. Moving to a foreign land is an enormous decision bound by excitement, fear, and expectations. At times, the disparity
between two cultures and the pressure to adapt to a new environment hampers
progress and diminishes self-assurance. However, it is through conquering adversities that we become resilient and wiser. And cultivating a grateful heart and appreciating the smallest blessings shift your perspective towards the positive. Thisjourney is nothing but wonderful, and I will be forever grateful for my fruitful experience and learnings at Osaka University. I was able to perform research using
cutting-edge instruments and facilities, and gained more knowledge in chemistryby joining lectures and presenting in conferences. Apart from the research side ofmy experience at Osaka University, I will also cherish the wonderful moments spent at the International Salon withthe members of the Science Buddy. Science Buddy is consistent in organizing activities that engage both Japaneseand international students. They have cultural activities, language lessons, and exciting games, quizzes, and fieldtrips! But the most valuable to me are the friends I gained in Science Buddy who made me feel the sense of belongingness. I am always grateful to Science Buddy as well as to Nishiguchi-san and Goto-san. Join Science Buddy andhave the best experiences at Osaka University! I wish you the best, and have a wonderful time!

Hey there, this is Zhou Que from China. Four years ago I was lucky enough to
get an offer to study in Osaka University. I gained a lot of knowledge and research skills addition to all the great friends I made from my program, but Science Buddy enriched my undergraduate life.
It is tough for international students that are not exchange students to expand
their social circle and meet Japanese friends especially when there is a language barrier. Science Buddy helped me learn Japanese in my own pace andheld a lot of events so that all international students from School of Sciencecan have a place where they can turn to when facing troubles in research or inlife. It is a volunteer group that creates a communication platform for all international students from the School of Science.
学部卒業
First event I would recommend is the Japanese Half Hour. It is compulsory forstudents in English programs to take Japanese classes for at least three semesters. However the syllabus is tuned togeneral students, that’s why I don’t think that I got the most out of it. While in Science Buddy, you get to choose
the learning material by yourself, and there is also a wide range of Japanese learning books available in the lounge. I
also like all the annual trips. They are well organized and allow you to relax, make new friends from different backgrounds and experience Japanese culture.
I would suggest all the international students that are struggling with life in Japan to attend some Science Buddy
events. And I wish all the best to Science Buddy in the future.
