What Japanese University Students
Think About Northern Ireland
I'm often asked by family & friends
what's on the mind of my Japanese university students & how
they feel about various topics.
Through
this online forum, my students will now have a voice to express their
views about different countries and/or share their overseas travels
with the online community.
First stop was America.
Then New
Zealand, Brazil, Scotland,
and Australia.
This stop: Northern Ireland
More to follow in the weeks and months ahead, as
we travel around the world country by country, in accordance with the
list at the bottom of the page !
If you are a Japanese university student, feel
free to throw in your 2 cents worth and participate in the discussion.
It'd be a pleasure to hear your input. And by all means, feel free to
comment on and rate the other students' comments as well.
Enjoy !!
