This year, I’m studying Japanese and Kyoto culture at the Kyoto Institute of Culture &
Language. My studies are focused on Japanese grammar, conversation, reading
comprehension and listening. I took the level 2 JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency
Test). I’m still waiting for the results. I want to pass the level 1 JLPT before I graduate.
In the Japanese culture course, I’m learning about the history of Japan from the Heian
period to modern times. I’m really looking forward to taking my bike to Kyoto’s
historical spots that remain to this day, like Nijo Castle, Ikedaya and so on.

Kyoto is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the Kamogawa River flows
through the city center. The most attractive part of Kyoto is the striking beauty of the
natural scenery. Since there are few tall buildings, the sky se ems so wide and the
sunsets are very lovely. This place also offers a convenient lifestyle, since I can get to
school or go shopping by bike. Lately, I’ve had some opportunit ies to interact with
Japanese university students, and walked along Kamogawa River i n a yukata. I was
exposed to the Kansai dialect and language used by the younger generation here,
which was a lot of fun.
 

Actually, the Taiwanese company that I worked at for six years imported water power
generation turbines and motor systems from overseas businesses, and then sold them
to power companies in Taiwan. I was able to put my English that I’d learned at my
university to use when importing from Astralia. Similarly, Japanese manufacturers like
Hitachi, Ltd., Mitsubishi Motors Corporation, and Toshiba Corporation are strong
players in this field. After graduation, I’m thinking of going b ack to Taiwan and
puttingmy six years of professional experience along with my Japanese skills to use at
a Japanese company there, to sell water power generation equipment to Taiwan.
