Student Voice: Dreamlike Reality – Bhatsawit NUANLAONG, Kasetsart University, Thailand

Greetings. I am Bhatsawit Nuanlaong, an exchange student from Kasetsart University, Thailand.

This is my overall impression of being abroad for the first time.

I had dreamt of visiting a foreign country for a long time, but the country I had wanted to visit the most is Japan. Although there were many difficulties I have had to overcome in completing procedures and submitting documents, the outcome was truly worthwhile.

I have never regretted coming to AIU or Japan. I have greatly enjoyed everything this university and country has provided within these two months.

I am studying Japanese, enjoying scenery with a great atmosphere, and have been caring for myself more by trying new things to enhance my living skills such as cooking, exercising, and so on.

However, one experience I would like to share is when I went on bus trips arranged by AIU. I spent time with my friends enjoying Sakura blossoms and eating lunch together at Kakunodate, and on a recent trip, I enjoyed myself strolling around and sightseeing at Roadside Station Kisakata. 

I feel like my everlasting dreams have finally come true, and I will always wholeheartedly cherish these irreplaceable memories.

Not only do I enjoy the trips, but I also enjoy the activities here at AIU. I am studying Japanese in detail to understand more about this language’s nature and proper usage. I would like to enhance my language capability to increase my future occupational opportunities.
