The 24 Days With Students of Fukuoka University of Education

It was 8/08/2014 the day when 5 girls from Fukuoka University of Education moved in with us in the girls' hostel where as 3 boys from the same university moved into the boys' hostel. They stayed here for 24 days. Participating in our college's very own English programme. I still remember vividly how I was anticipating their arrival in the cafe, waiting for calls from the admins, being restless for the whole day. It was today, the day they depart.

During these 24 days of bonding, we learn about each others country roughly or maybe in depth through mixed language conversations. It was nice to know the way Japanese live and learning their thoughts in mind. We went to a few places like Times Square, Batu Caves and a few cultural activities in college.

Here are the list of event that happened during their stay here :

For the last day, I received letter and gifts from everyone else. It was hard having to live without them since I got used to having so many in the unit. Nonetheless, I enjoy having all of you around!

 To all my Fukuoka University of Education students, it was indeed a great pleasure and blessing to have all of you all here. In this less than a month short of time, we did a lot of activities together, had some deep talks about your future careers and I am indeed impressed that all of you are aiming to become an educator. Keep the momentum going and I hope this one month programme of intensive English class has given you tones of help in improving your English.
