(Zin Ko) I came from Mandalay. \u00a0It is the second largest city in the country, an ancient city like Kyoto, Japan. \u00a0My home town has a long history, culture, also famous heritages and a palace. \u00a0Many tourists come from all over the world.
\nI have studied at Mandalay Technological University.
\nWhen the new generation mobile project was launched in our country about three and half years ago, many engineers came to Yadanabon Cyber City to have training. We met each other during the training.<\/p>\n(Theint) I have been to Mandalay twice, one time for a visit and the other was for the business. \u00a0I was born in Yangon, the capital, and grown up there. \u00a0I have studied at Yangon Technological University.<\/p>\n
Did you have any concerns before coming to Japan? What do you think about Tokyo or Japan now?<\/h3>\n

<\/a>(Zin Ko) This is our first time to come to Japan.\u00a0 We had much information about Japan from our friends studying in Japan before coming, and they said that if we did not talk in Japanese language, we could not go anywhere! \u00a0So, we had a little worry concerned with the language because we learned the Japanese language only one month. \u00a0But now, it is OK.\u00a0 We can go anywhere we want to go.\u00a0(Theint) I think Tokyo is very nice and comfortable place. \u00a0We can go everywhere easily and safely.\u00a0(Zin Ko) Yes, the city is very safe, very clean and comfortable. \u00a0We can go outside even in the midnight.\u00a0(Theint) I am studying Japanese language via website now.\u00a0(Zin Ko) Before our enrollment to the university, JICE (JICA) made many orientations for us.\u3000And we got many knowledge about Japan, some tip to adapt quickly life in Japan, we have learned also how to evacuate from fire or smokes!JICA gave us the training. \u00a0It was for nearly one week or ten days. \u00a0JICA invited many speakers from famous universities to tell us Japanese culture, life in Japan, or how to stay in Japan comfortably.\u00a0 Many seniors from Waseda University also provided us much information. \u00a0It also made us easy to stay in Japan. \u00a0(Theint) At the orientation held by Waseda university\u00a0 in the beginning of the school year, we easily understood the online course registration, as we didn’t have such a registration system, it was useful. \u00a0I attended other orientation and I learned about differences between two countries and how we can communicate with each other or how to introduce ourselves.
\nWaseda University also provides information and guidance in English for the International Students like us. \u00a0Therefore, we don’t face any difficulties in learning.<\/p>\nHave you had any difficulties when you started a new life here?<\/h3>\n
We can start the new life in Japan very well and smoothly. \u00a0With the kindly help of JICE and seniors, we don’t have any difficulties in renting room, making bank account and even buying the train ticket like PASMO. \u00a0The information provided by orientations held by university and International Student’s help desk are also very helpful.<\/p>\n
How did you find out about Waseda University?<\/h3>\n
We firstly found JDS a Scholar program announcement to study ICT field in Waseda University on social network. \u00a0Then we searched the information about Waseda and current researches through the internet. \u00a0We found supervisor and their research thorough the internet.
\nWe realized that we are very lucky to study at Waseda. \u00a0We wanted to study in Tokyo, and Waseda is located in the center of downtown, so we can easily go anywhere.<\/p>\n(Zin Ko) As the Takadanobaba station is near and, it is very attractive and comfortable to Myanmar people. \u00a0Around the station, there are many Myanmar restaurants and grocery stores. \u00a0We can buy anything from Myanmar which we want. \u00a0And around Okubo station, there are also many Asian food shops. \u00a0But everything is almost ten times higher than our country.<\/p>\n
(Theint) Because Myanmar foods are different from Japanese foods, I also worried about foods culture. \u00a0Now, there is no problem.<\/p>\n
Why did you choose Waseda University?<\/h3>\n

<\/a>From visiting the Waseda website and the information shared by friends who are studying in Japan, we found that Waseda University is one of the greatest and most famous universities in Japan. \u00a0Besides, we also realized that it is very hard to get the chance to study in Waseda and we possess that golden chance.<\/p>\nWas our website useful for you to have enough information?<\/h3>\n
(Zin Ko) Firstly, I tried to find Professor SATO’s Lab. \u00a0So I checked Waseda’s website and easily found his lab, I found his current research there as well. \u00a0And also found two our senior students from Myanmar studying in his lab. One of them finished her study at Waseda, and got the degree. \u00a0Now she is in home country.<\/p>\n
(Theint) My lab has also one senior student from Myanmar, I can ask her anything I want to know.<\/p>\n
How are the relationships with your supervisor and lab members?<\/h3>\n
