My exchange has been a once in a lifetime experience to live in a completely new culture on the other side of the planet. From getting to attend Ritsumeikan Asian Pacific University in Beppu, to traveling all across Japan, making great friends along the way. Japan has left me with so many memories I am losing track.
Greetings from Beppu, Japan! In this blog post I'll tell you about my life and experiences here in the land of the rising sun.
I was originally planning on staying only one semester in Oita University but I fell in love with living there so I extended my stay to experience all the seasons of Japan in this smaller and more rural city!
Japan is quite interesting country from a cultural point of view, and having almost not roman letters in signs adds a bit of mystery, but is it still mysterious after learning the language?

I spent 4 months of my 5-month exchange period studying at Oita University, Japan. This was my second time studying in Japan and it's been an unforgettable experience. My studies consisted mainly of Japanese language courses as my main goal was to improve my language skills. Besides my studies, I also got to experience the beauty of Japan during my travels.
