What Makes You Study Abroad?

I had a great time this Tuesday at Washington State University. Last semester, I visited Gonzaga University but I just waved to international students, so last Tuesday was the first time I had great conversation at another university. There were a lot of international students including students from Japan. As I saw people of all nationalities, I thought why so many students want to study abroad. I search a little bit using the Internet to find answers to my question. In my case, MFWI is the best place to study hard without obsessions so I am here now.

 I will focus on internationalization. Recently, many students go abroad to study. It shows globalization advances rapidly around the world. The thinking of globalization spread out not only the schools but also enterprises. Here is an example. At present, some companies which develop global work hire not international students in Japan but foreigners who graduated from foreign universities. Moreover, they don’t have the requisition of Japanese language for hiring people. It means even Japanese companies need global person regardless of nationalities.

 According to statistic of Institute of International Education, IIE, Open Doors, students who study abroad have decreased. In 2008, about 66,833 students went abroad to study. It is because the number of children decreases and Japan is going down. In addition, it is so hard for people in Japan to get a job; on the other hand, people in other countries who have studied abroad are treated. In Japan, some might have disadvantages about getting a job by studying abroad. This situation leads to a decline in concern about the world.

One of the major companies in Japan changed their official language to English. The materials of meeting are written in English. They regard the revolution as “the time of growth for a real global enterprise.” They really need the person who is able to consider things from the international point of view.

From some information, an able person who has a global perspective is needed. If there is no obstacle to get a job, I really want to study abroad for a long time. To respond to hard request of company, we should cultivate our mind by working hard despite international students and Japanese who have studied abroad. It is time to think about how life here will be good for me for the future and what I should do next for my success. Anyway, I have to study English and work hard to accomplish my own goal now. That’s why I am here.

Unforgettable Southwest Trip

I went on a totally amazing Southwest trip with my classmates. The trip was my first time to go to the Southwest so everything was new to me. Sarah, Anikke and Bethany came with us. They made our trip more exciting. I’m happy I could go on this trip with them and I had a lot of great experiences. First, I really enjoyed New Mexico. It was chilly but not too cold. I went to the Old Town in  Albuquerque, New Mexico. I liked the Old Town because there are many cute things and good restaurants in there. For example, I found a gate that was decorated with a lot of red chili peppers. I had never seen anything like that before so I was very surprised and it looked like a lot of flowers from a distance. The red chili peppers were absolutely gorgeous. Not only that, I found a great restaurant. I forgot the name of the restaurant but they have really delicious Mexican food. They gave me some Mexican chips for free and recommended that I eat the chips with honey. I really like Mexican chip

Really Faburous Southwest Trip

I had an absolutely amazing experience on the Southwest trip in mid-October. I enjoyed a good deal of beautiful scenery of nature and city areas, delicious food and performances, and culture. I spent a lot of wonderful time with my friends and teachers in Santa Fe, Black Bart’s Restaurant and the Grand Canyon. I enjoyed a good deal of beautiful scenery of nature and city, delicious food and performance, and culture. First, my one of impressive places was Santa Fe Plaza. There were brown houses and buildings made of adobe, and the doors and window frames and decorations were colorful. I like passionate red and turquoise blue color because these colors match the adobe brown color. Also, there were many gift shops in the Plaza, and we could find a lot of native Americans gifts such as dream catchers, pottery, fabrics, unique fashion accessories, dishes, and traditional clothes. I bought a dreamcatcher, some pretty earrings, a ring, and postcards, so I was very happy. It rained at nig

My Valuable Southwest Trip

Last week, we took a trip to the Southwest for 7 days. This trip was an absolutely wonderful memory. I had never been to these areas so I was stimulated by every things, for example, cactus, adobe style buildings, Native American culture and amazing dessert views. It is one of the most interesting trips I ever took, because I experienced some rare things like visiting Grand Canyon, visiting high school and so on. On this trip I could understand about Indian culture from a folk art museum. I would like to introduce some my best memories on this Southwest trip. My first best memory is Georgia O’Keef museum. Actually, before this trip, I was not familiar with her and didn’t know about any of her artworks, but I was looking forward to visiting here because I like art museums. Her artworks were very unique, abstract and absolutely fabulous, and these were very fresh to me. I especially liked bone’s paintings which one of the most famous her artwork, because the color contrast is very c
