The Japan in Today&#8217;s World program really gave me the best opportunity to realize these hopes and wishes. During my year with the JTW program I got to take part in classes covering a wide range of interesting subjects and topics, all while learning Japanese for the very first time through Kyushu University\u2019s Japanese Language Courses (JACs). <\/p>\n<p>For me however, some of the most exciting experiences I had during my stay at Kyushu University came through the JTW-program\u2019s dedication to provide chances to learn outside of the classroom. During the programs numerous study trips, I got the chance to experience Zen-meditation at a monk monastery, rice harvesting with local farmers, and living with a local family through the host family program. These were all experiences that I greatly cherish and that I never would have been able to get outside of the JTW-program. I am so happy with how my year studying abroad in Japan turned out, and much of that is thanks to the JTW-program.<\/p>\n<p>Michael SEHLSTEDT<br \/>\nJTW 2018-2019 (The 25th Class)<br \/>\nStockholm University<br \/>\nSweden<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I came to Kyushu University with hopes of deepening my knowledge in my field of International Relations, getting to know new friends and experience living...","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":138,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/isc.kyushu-u.ac.jp\/jtw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/isc.kyushu-u.ac.jp\/jtw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/isc.kyushu-u.ac.jp\/jtw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/isc.kyushu-u.ac.jp\/jtw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/isc.kyushu-u.ac.jp\/jtw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=137"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/isc.kyushu-u.ac.jp\/jtw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":185,"href":"https:\/\/isc.kyushu-u.ac.jp\/jtw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137\/revisions\/185"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/isc.kyushu-u.ac.jp\/jtw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/138"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/isc.kyushu-u.ac.jp\/jtw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=137"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/isc.kyushu-u.ac.jp\/jtw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=137"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/isc.kyushu-u.ac.jp\/jtw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=137"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
