The place is located in the middle of nature, so I was able to discover a new side of Waseda University.<\/p>\n<p>First, I was impressed by the size of the bamboo. The staff explained and showed us in detail how to dig up a bamboo shoot, and then, armed with a pickaxe, it was our turn to try. It was harder and more physical than it looked! But with the help of the staff, I was able to dig up two bamboo shoots. It was the first time I tried this kind of experience. I felt like I was in the Animal Crossing game! We were even able to bring the bamboo shoots home to cook them.<\/p>\n<p>After the bamboo hunt, we went to a classroom to play games and chat together. I was able to make new friends. Then some of us went to the Totoro\u2019s Forest, a place related to the Ghibli movie. It was very pleasant to walk in the forest in such beautiful weather.<\/p>\n<p>It was my first time attending an ICC event, and it hadn&#8217;t even been two weeks since I arrived in Japan. I&#8217;m really glad I went! I highly recommend that you attend ICC events. They allow you to discover new experiences, make friends and enjoy cultural exchange.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-node-type=\"line\"><\/div>\n<div data-node-type=\"line\">\n<div id=\"attachment_17944\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-17944 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/assets\/uploads\/2022\/06\/d6a7ac08d94a65323868d90d39cda47e.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"368\" height=\"654\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">(photo by author)<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"magicdomid14\" class=\"ace-line\" data-node-type=\"line\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cl\u00e9o Denimal,\u00a0CJL On Saturday, April 23rd, I had the chance to participate in the Bamboo Shoot Hunt event orga [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":17943,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[95,97],"tags":[116,94,137],"class_list":["post-17942","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en","category-other-en","tag-event-report-en","tag-general-en","tag-hands-on-activities-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17942","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17942"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17942\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28208,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17942\/revisions\/28208"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17943"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17942"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17942"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17942"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
