Back in Japan

This is Hiroki!

It has been 5 days since we came back to Japan.

There are about 14 hours difference in between St. Louis and Japan, so my jet lag is getting better but I'm still having some problem with it...lol

Anyway, I would like to look over our time in UMSL.

First of all, I am sure that all of us improved our English skills.

Even for the people who already had good English, going through business course in English and writing business plan were new so it was a good experience.

To add on, I thought if we had some basic knowledge of what the business plan is in Japanese, we could have done some more study in depth.

We found many new friends there, and the best part of UMSL is that those people who we met there, are coming to Rikkyo in about a week!!!

Since they helped us a lot, it will be our turn to host them around our campus.

EAP was fun!!! And it will be FUN!!!

Last day...

This is Hiroki

Sadly, this will be the last blog which we will post from UMSL.

25 days has past since we first came here, and it was so fast.

Our last day started a little later than what we used to.

We filled out some survey about our trip first thing in the morning!

This got me think back about what we did this 3 week.

More than anything, we had so FUN!!!

We can never thank enough to all the assistants who helped us.

We are going to leave our dorm and head to the airport in about 1 hour...

There aren't many things which we can do left, but we will make sure that our trip will be the excellent trip til the last minute.

Lastly, I want to say THANK YOU to all the member in Team -A-

Eri, Mao, Shiori, Miyuki and Shunsuke.
I was able to enjoy my EAP 120% because of them!!!

I feel so lucky that I was in the same group with them.

So, we are going back to Japan.

THANK YOU SO MUCH UMSL!!!

Pizza Company -Field Trip-

Hiroki again!

Today, we only had 1 lesson in the morning.

Actually, we (Group A) didn't have anything to do this morning!lol

Anyway,
After that we went for the field trip!!!

We went to the pizza company!
(Picture is Eri eating huge piece of pizza! lol)

I was going to write about this field trip, but since we have our final presentation tomorrow morning, I have to do the last minute meeting.

I'll try and update the blog tomorrow!

Only 3 more days left!!!
not much time...
HAVE TO HAVE FUN!!!!!

BYE!!!

six flags

Hi everyone. Eri is writing today.





yesterday, we went to Six Flags in St.Louis.
i didnt go to the water sliders and the pool. i rode lots of scary rollercoasters.
my favorite one is called the Boss. it is wooden rollercoaster so that it shaked badly. since i knocked my head againdt the back seats and side bars many times, i had a headache afterall.

for dinner, we went to the buffet restaurant.
was yum.
there was one chocolate fountain for dessert.
i put chocolate on my strawberries then i found out that plain fresh strawberries are better.

anyway, we had a good day and we were all full in the end of the day.

tomorrow, we will finally record our business plan presentation.
a little bit nervous but excited too.

fun day!!

Hi!!

I'm Mao again.

Today we went to six flags

and had a lot of fun!!

First, I was afraid of high places...

However, the experience at the Arch

made me overcome it so I enjoyed

most of the rides without fear:)

The roller coaster was so amusing!!

Also, the pool was fun but because

the time we went swimming was bad,

it was so cold that we got out soon...

After playing in six flags,

we went to a restaurant called

Emperor's Palace.

The food I ate was all good!!

Especially, the Vietnam noodles

were so delicious that I ate

2 bowls of it with Akihiro:)

We only have a limited time so

I'll enjoy the rest of my time!!

Good bye!!

6 FLAG!!!

HIROKI again!!!

As I mentioned in yesterday's post, we went to the 6 Flag today!

We left our dorm at 9:30 and spent about 7 hours.

The group which I went around together rode ALL the roller coasters in 6 Flag St. Louis.

There are theme park and water park, but my group stayed in the theme park all day long.

(Picture is the roller coaster called "Batman")

To add on, there is TV program called "The Best House" which introduce the Top 3 ranking of many series.

One of the roller coaster in 6 Flag was actually in the top 3 of the most crazy roller coaster in the world!!!

Anyway, by the time we went home, our feet were shaking since we rode 12 roller coaster in a day! lol

On the way home, we stopped at the "Emperor's Palace"

It is the restaurant which we can eat food from every Asian countries.

I ate Sushi.

It wasn't the best Sushi I ever had, but since I haven't eaten Japanese food for ages, it tasted awesome! lol

It was a CRAZY DAY!!!

Tomorrow, we are going to the field trip!

I heard it was the Pizza company, so I will definitely get one!

OK. bye!
