Mitsuaki Kuwata -2012 admission

Kuwata photo for blogOne year and a half has passed, since I entered Kyoto University. When I look back on the school days, I realize they were very interesting and hard days with study. Let me take this opportunity to say thanks to my classmates and the staffs, who are kind and helped me a lot. Without them, I couldn’t have had such great school days. By the way, here, I’ll talk about one of my circle activity.
When I started living in Kyoto, I mistakenly believed that only if I live in Kyoto and belong to international course, I could get opportunities to make many foreign friends naturally. In case of me, however, I didn’t have enough chances to talk with international students after classes, and I understood many of them felt the same way. In order to provide place for culture exchanges, I and some of my friends decided to organize a circle, "Chocolate".
We discussed a lot, made plans for events, passed out leaflets at several universities and held many events, BBQ, cooking party and sightseeing etc. Now, our circle member reached around 100, and half of them are international students. I am glad to hear that members really enjoyed the events and the circle was very good place for communication and culture exchange. We welcome everyone. Let’s enjoy your university life together!!!
