Gastronomic burst by the river

Another academic year has just started at Tohoku University (TU) which brings another challenge for TUFSA in upholding its responsibility as the umbrella organization which maintains the good life and harmonious relationship between international and Japanese students at TU. One of the activities of TUFSA every kick of the semester is the welcome party for its new members. As one of the old members in this organization so to speak, we are very much honored that we have gathered the young best minds of TU from different countries to be one of our working pillars to strengthen further our reputation as the biggest international organization in TU that supports both the students and the community as well.

This year’s welcome party event was filled with intense gastronomical extravaganza. From 6 types of chicken BBQs to seafood’s including vegetable stuff. No one can ask more to fill his or her tummy for a day. Not only these foodies made the event amazing but also the place where it was held was filled serenity and nature. The magnificent rushing sound of the river and the kiss of Mr. Sunshine were just so perfect combo for the event to be called memorable. While everyone was busy grilling their BBQ flavor of choice, some members were not able to resist splashing themselves in the clear cool water of the river. It was very relaxing watching them playing like kids.

We TUFSA members were quite known for its amor in picture taking. This means that the event will not be as good as expected without the battle of camera flashing everywhere.  As different poses and extreme pictorial gala were made, the new and the old members were able to have an opportunity to exchange ideas regarding the future plans and activities of TUFSA in the next coming years. We were also amazed by our high school exchange student guests from Switzerland, Belgium and Indonesia. They were so interactive that they even shared their experiences regarding their school life while in Japan.

I would say that the event was filled with memories and productivity that will make you responsible and work harder for the betterment of your fellow international and Japanese students as a whole in this institution. Well…..well…well..This is not the end of the greatest moments of TUFSA as a member yet….we still have a lot events and activities coming…. More challenging but worth learning so stay tune….
