Rewind: APRIL [Photos: Rits]

Photo time!

Here's our classroom for my North-South Relations class. All rooms look pretty much the same. Each room is equipped with flat screen TVs, ac, and computers. Life at Rits seems relatively convenient. I wish that the state of public universities and colleges in my country would soon improve.

Since I'm majoring in International Relations here at Rits, I'm taking JWP classes - Japan and World Perspectives. My classes are comprised of an interesting mix of Japanese students and exchange students from different parts of the world.

Hoho.

This semester I took 5 JWP classes and 1 basic Japanese class:

Here are the classes that I've chosen:

* North-South Relations

* Public Health & Development
* International Peace Studies
* Gender & Peace Studies
* International Public Policy
* Basic Japanese

- Each JWP class meets once a week for an hour and a half, while my Japanese class meets twice a week for also an hour and half each session.

I'll talk more about these classes later. I'll write an elaborate review of each (probably).

Japanese style toilet.

Recycle bins. The recycling system here is immensely elaborate.

There's a bus that goes directly to Rits.
And that car over there is a taxi 

This man in uniform roams around Rits to make sure that it's clean, oh so clean.

: )

I've read most of Murakmi's books, but only the translated ones of course.
Someday, I would like to be able to read the original ones. Sigh.

Someday, I will be able to read you. Someday.
