Clubs Day Debrief -- Yuri

 In today‘s Clubs Day, I had been thinking if there is an association that I am interested in, I made it my wish bone to get information from them. Also, I have not many opportunities to visit and talk to a lot of university students.

At the beginning of the Clubs Day, I wandered with my friends, but I couldn’t find the association that I am interested in. I was not sure what the clubs or associations are doing from a quick glance, so I looked the map. There were many kinds of organizations such as Japanese, debate, anime and unisef. Among them, I went to Japanese, badminton and India. The most interesting for me was India. They tattooed the palm of my hands and it is called Hena(Indian tattoo). It took about 5 minutes. Each one had a different design and there were all pretty! Moreover, I ‘m also interested in badminton club. I only got a little information and it was going to be difficult to join because my badminton rackets and shoes are in Japan. However, it was good to hear a bit about them.


In conclusion, I thought just visit and see the badminton club. It was good experience to have a chat with university students. I also could use some of the things I learned in class on the other day and had a good time.

    Hi Yuri, you can definitely hire the gear you need from Unipol, so don't let not having your racket, deter you from joining the badminton club. David :-)

The Ideal School: My Vision -- Riko

                  Since before, some people consider that academic subjects (math, science, biology, history, geography, etc.) are the most important. In addition to this, these days, the 4Cs (critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication) are regarded as essential. Although it is true that these subjects and perspectives are extremely important for life, I suppose that it is also significant to learn skills and abilities at a school to live independently.                 This kind of school would have high quality of teaching about housework as much as academic school. Students at the school could learn how to cook, grow plants, make and fix things with some equipment and tools such as kitchens, electric drills, etc.). One of the advantages of this style is that the students would not tend to be bored because they can learn about many fields widely. Moreover, these skills are essential to live by oneself. One of the reasons of this is that doing things by oneself c

I’m Jimmy from Taiwan. I came to New Zealand to learn English, experience different lifestyles, and try working abroad using my working holiday visa. Now I am in homestay in Green Island with the Morris family. This is my second time in New Zealand. Last time in Dunedin I just passed through this city, but now I have joined the general English course at the University of Otago. By learning in a foreign university environment, I want to improve my English level to increase the chances of future employment. By the way, It also means that I could have more time to appreciate the beauty and culture of Dunedin. So far I found there are a lot of attractive Scottish style architectures and nature sceneries, and I think the weather in Dunedin is very changable. I have already finished my Masters Degree in food science and biotechnology. My favorite subject was food chemistry, because I could understand the principles of how food changes. I like to play badminton, tennis, go mountain climbi
