Living in a foreign country where you do not speak fluently the language like Japan makes one lonely and homesick. In my five and six months stay at Nagoya, Japan from 1988 to 1994 as a graduate student (M. Eng and D. Eng), keeping myself connected with my family in the Philippines kept me going and surviving. But in time, you will develop friendship with fellow scholars from other countries. But bonding with fellow Pinoys is really different and the experience is that "you may be faraway but feels like close to home." Presented in this blog are compilation of photos with my fellow Filipinos (students, OFWs and friends). Enjoy our Nagoya Adventures!
Nagoya Adventures #1 - Highlights: Our first bike tour around Nagoya - our team - Mel, Jerry, William, Joe, Cynthia and myself travelled by bicyle around Nagoya visiting the Nagoya Expo 89 passing through Tsurumai park.
