100 days. That’s how many days I had from when I finished my last UOA exam for semester one to the day I flew to Japan to start semester two. 100 days to get excited, to get nervous, to reassure me, to overthink, to relax, and to freak out. 100 days to do nothing but…Continue Reading 100 Days

The program was indeed full on, and although I was told before that there…Continue Reading Mata’s Report – (2024)
I found out about this program one random day while checking my emails. I already had an interest in Japanese and Korean pop culture, so the title of the email stood out to me, and I applied for fun.

I originally came across this opportunity through a simple email. Applied. And by miracle, found myself accepted. I’d come into it with narrowed expectations on Japan and the wonders it would bring.
