Last Days in Japan Exploring Tokyo
May 23 2023
by Kyle Hufford – Associate Professor of Communication
For the last few days our students have been enjoying themselves in the wonderful city of Japan. Quite the contrast to what we have been doing for the last few weeks. It is a large and busy city but has such rich culture and history. I think between all of us we have canvased the highlights of the whole city. With such a large and efficient public train system it is really easy to get anywhere in about 30-45min. We have been soaking up the shops, food, historical sights and off the beaten path places. Tomorrow we fly home and I think most of us are ready. It’s been an amazing trip but will be good to be home. Over the next few months we will work on these projects and I am looking forward to seeing where this story takes us.
Ready to be home and to experience two Wednesdays.
