Everyone with GTS had the great experience for observing and enjoying Japanese way of cheering at the ball park!
Having fun together with the greatest fanatic crowd was really refreshing!
Everyone gathers and discuss how he or she would spend the First Sunday!
Sunday next week will be Martial Arts Trial for everyone!

The Golden Pavilion in a cloudy day
Yesterday there was heavy shower during the visit to the Rock Garden, and it was almost the same weather today.
Yet, fortunately we were not caught in the rain today and it was rather gorgeous weather for us. Our lunch was at the different cafeteria in Ritsumeikan University.
Though the Golden Pavilion was not too shinny, 600-year old Bonsai Pine Tree was still energetically welcomed us.

First day went exceptionally well!
Usually it is difficult for students to successfully commute to school on the first day of the program.
No one got lost this year! Amazing! We went to the Rock Garden this afternoon after eating lunch at Ritsumeikan University cafeteria.
Right before leaving the Ryoanji-temple (the Rock Garden) heavy shower began pouring so we stayed another half hour before rain would stop.
No bad news on the first day, which is the great sign of another successful year!
The golden pavilion is waiting for us tomorrow!

Study Abroad Orienntation is just around the cornor!
14 students (4 women and 10 men) will go to Kyoto, Japan this summer! This is the 16th year since the first summer study abroad program was conducted.
Over 300 students went to Japan with GTS by now including short winter/spring programs.
No major accidents/incidents for these 15 years, which is great and GTS feels owing a lot of his students for this success.
This safe tradition will continue as long as GTS is leading the program and GTS will let every student maximize his or her Japan experience.
Another happy thing is that there will be about 15 students taking summer Japanese 1101 program at COD main campus taught by my friend, Date-sensei, and hopefully some will coontinue their study in fall!!!!!!!
GTS Japanese program at COD is growing and expanding and GTS is moving forward with students support even though some students fail GTS class yet challenge it again.
