GAiGO Students' Voices

By　KOTA
I visited to foreign countries for the first time in my life.

It was a wonderful time for me.

In Hong Kong, I was really happy to meet Hong Kong friends again.

I experienced various things such as Home-visit, Home-stay, beautiful view, delicious foods and so on.

My first impression of Hong Kong, the town and the people were very energetic.

When I visited Hong Kong friend’s home as a Home-visit with some Kagoshima delegates, her families were very kind and friendly.

The dishes that her mother made were most delicious in Hong Kong.

The last night in Hong Kong, we joined the farewell party.

End of the party, Hong Kong friends sang ‘Auld Lang Syne’ or ‘Hotaru no Hikari’.

I was greatly touched by the song.

I suddenly cried a lot, I couldn’t stop crying.

I miss them and Hong Kong very much.


My first impression of Singapore, I felt heat, but there was much nature, and the air was good, too

I experienced the first Home-stay.

I felt uneasiness that I would become only one Japanese during the Home-stay.

I couldn’t understand that my host mother spoke in English even if I asked it how many times again.

However I was able to understand that my host mother spoke in English by the interpreter of my host brother.

I was able to meet various people through Home-stay.

All of them were extremely tender for me, I didn’t want Home-stay was over.


I felt I could communicate in my English but I need to study English more so that I understand English more.


My friends and my family in Hong Kong and Singapore!! See you again!!
