Impressions of Japan (Vietnamese group)
Although we knew Japan only
through books and magazines,
we have seen the real Japan
and have experienced the
wonderful Japanese lifestyle by
participating in this programme.
In addition, we have got to
know the many virtues of the
Japanese people, including
their hospitality, cheerful
character, and enthusiasm.
These are what people throughout the world need to emulate. Japanese
people are particularly kind to us as their guests. With such kindness the
world could become peaceful and friendly as if it was one family. Through this
programme, countries throughout the world will develop ever closer ties and
stronger relationships.
I have learned many things through
this programme and I have an
increased awareness of a
well-disciplined life and punctuality.
The homestay experience was
particularly memorable for me. I have
many unforgettable memories
involving my host family, and I feel
they are my second family.

Impressions of Japan (Laotian Group)
I am very glad to have participated in
this programme. Everything was so
new to me, but exchanging traditional
cultures between Japan and the five
Mekong countries was a good
experience. I felt that a spirit of
solidarity had been generated among
these countries. I had a good time.
I am very happy to have participated in this excellent programme. Through
real-life experiences, I have got to know about Japan and Japanese culture,
which were unfamiliar to me. This was also a good opportunity for cultural
exchange among the five Mekong countries. I hope to visit Japan again in the
future to study. I also want to learn Japanese.
I have been deeply moved by coming to Japan, an advanced country. Japan
is very clean and Japanese people are very punctual. I have given my all in
performing our traditional arts in this cultural exchange among Japan and the
five Mekong countries.
I am very glad to have stayed
with a family in Sasayama City.
My host family was very kind and
I felt as if I was a family member.
I was also deeply impressed by
snow, which I had never seen
before. I would like to visit Japan
and Sasayama again, if possible.

Impressions of Japan ( Thai group )
I am very happy and glad to
have participated in the
JENESYS Programme. This
stay is meaningful for me
because I have gained a
deeper understanding of
various aspects of Japanese
culture and daily life. In
addition, I was moved by
coming into contact with the
cultures of the five Mekong
countries.
First of all, I wish to express my
appreciation for the JENESYS
Programme. I have had an
unforgettable experience in just eight
days. I have come to know about
Japanese culture, the well-disciplined
attitude of Japanese people,
punctuality, and the Japanese work
ethic. I hope this programme will
continue and establish close
relationship between countries for a
long time to come.

Impressions of Japan (Cambodian group)
I am glad to have participated in
the JENESYS Progarmme in the
Japan-Mekong Exchange year. If
Japan and the five Mekong
countries cooperate in taking on
developments in various fields to
reduce poverty, peace will be
brought to Asian countries.
I am happy to have made friends
with many Japanese people and people from the five Mekong countries
through this programme. In addition, it was useful for me to visit to many
institutions for study. In particular the Peace Memorial Park in Okinawa deeply
impressed me.
Through participating in the exchange programme implemented by Nippon
Sport Science University, I came to know that Japanese people are friendly,
and I came to like Japan, Japanese people and Japanese university students.
In addition, I was profoundly
moved by viewing and listening
to Japanese dancing and drum
beating and wearing a kimono.
This is my first visit to Japan,
and I cannot express my
gratitude enough for the
valuable experience and warm
hospitality.

Impressions of Japan (Myanmarese group)
○ I feel Japan and the five Mekong countries have
become closer to each other than before. I am glad
to have come in direct contact with the culture of
each country and to have watched the performing
arts of each country with my own eyes. In addition,
I have actually seen how developed Japan is, and I
wish to learn from its good points, such as the
diligence, warmth, and punctuality of Japanese
people. I hope to visit Japan again.
○ This visit to Japan was my first visit to a foreign country, and introducing the culture of
my own country on stage was also a first experience. In addition, I was able to
experience directly the cultures of other countries for the first time. I had not been very
interested in Myanmarese
traditional music, and only
listened to current popular music.
I had not been aware of the need
to preserve our own culture. But
now, I understand the value of
our ethnic music and traditional
performing arts, and I am proud
of them.
