Hi Jap Club! This is Shiyun, your 09exco secretary here :)
This blog hasn't been updated for quite a while already, so here I am to share with you about this programme which I am embarking on - the Youth Ambassador For Tohoku Programme (YAT).

I'm really glad to have been selected as one of the 100 ambassadors for Tohoku. During our club's Japan Cultural Trip last year, we only toured within Tokyo due to time and bugdet constraints. And so, when a teacher of mine informed me of YAT, I didn't hesitate to apply for it. I'm sure the trip will be well-rounded one - not only will we be experiencing the Tanabata Festival in Sendai, we will also be doing volunteer work and visiting Tokyo University to interact with the students. That's a whole package of Sightseeing + Community service + Cultural exchange, all within 7 days! Now I really can't wait :)

With 13 days left to strike out on my calender, I've been keeping myself busy with learning Japanese! I've always wanted to pick up the language, and now this trip serves as motivation for me to start on my reference books again. And 13 days means ... ... im less than 2 weeks away from delicious udon, sushi, ice cream and tempura!

I'll be blogging about my experience in Tohoku again! ^^v
