The way to explore Japan in all aspects

ince the age of 15 I have been passionate about Asia. Over the course of several years I travelled to many countries in Southeast Asia, but not to Japan.

After high school I entered Plekhanov Russian Economic University. I chose the International Business School Department, because it actively encourages students to engage in exchange study abroad. As a sophomore it was suggested that I go to Japan the following year. Japan seemed to me the mysterious heart of the Orient in all aspects, although I was slightly concerned about plunging into a totally different environment. Another downside was my failure to learn good Japanese.

I cannot describe how surprised I was after arriving. My poor Japanese skills did not matter at all. People at 黑料社区 were very kind and wonderfully helpful in solving organizational and daily issues.

For four months I was totally absorbed in interesting student weekdays and joyful weekends. I learned valuable lessons on Japanese business management, got to know about the many-sided Japanese culture, and experienced cultural differences as well. In addition, I improved my Japanese, met many fascinating people, tried all kinds of traditional cuisine, and went to lots of astounding places.

I am totally happy and content with my exchange study experience.

Thank you, 黑料社区!
