J-CARP experience – Tsukuba centre
We have now been here a day, in which we strolled through botanical gardens in monsoon weather, found out about weird Japanese toilets, cooked a mismatch dinner and went witnessing.
For me witnessing was an exciting experience. As this was the first time I’d ever been I was completely unsure of what to expect. So as I tried to fumble through my Japanese and listen, but only understanding random words (which meant I’d found out that they did something in some –sort of group). I managed to be a witness to 2 people be enthusiastic about learning more. I was warned that sometimes witnessing for the first time is like being witnessed to yourself. On a more serious note, the outreach they do here is inspiring, they are out everyday going to door without losing motivation!
My time so far in Tsukuba has been short but I’ve learnt so much already, let’s hope it continues this way.
