~.:Course Reflective Narrative:.~
This class really helped me be able to reminisce back on all the memories I had created while studying abroad in Japan. I also enjoyed being with the other students in sharing with them how to be prepared and what to look out for when in a different country. I understand that everyone's experience will be different, yet we were able to relate on many things such as transportation, social groups, in public scenarios, etc. We were also able to share the best and better techniques of how to handle learning strategies and cultural differences. I think though as I reflect back on my time in Japan...I wish I had more time to have done the LESCANT project more appropriately and be able to have taken more pictures with me in them. I am not much of a picture taker of myself, yet it would have made more of a memory for me.
