Mito, more than you think
When in World Campus – Japan, we arrive in a city, we know we are going to get to know the town in some way, sometimes with our host families on host family day, sometimes with local people that give s a tour of a museum or any other important building… this time, we had a really cool tour of a park, house and lake.
The university students of Mito gave us a scavenger hunt to play, see and enjoy the nature around Mito. It was a lot of fun trying to find out all the answers without any “japanese” help.
We saw the beautiful nature Mito has to offer, including an amazing lake located in the middle of town where you can ride boats with swan shape. They also have swans swimming on the lake and they are sooo friendly you can almost touch them and hang out with them.
Overall, Mito is more than just a town, is a place to relax and enjoy nature inside the city.

Our World Campus – Japan Summer 2009 version of Love Me Tender
Video: Love Me Tender
If you have been following our program or our blog, you have no doubt heard about our “Arigato Event.” Performed near the end of each of our stays, the event is a way for us to say Thank You to the communities and host families who have worked so hard to bring us into their world. These communities do most of the work needed to make World Campus International a success. In each of our events, there is a section that highlights the talents and creativity of our participants. This summer we had some members who decided that their talents went better together than on their own. Having never met before the program, these participants put a little Elvis, some Sax, a vocal rhythm track, a traditional Japanese instrument, and a world class voice together to create this amazing rendition of the classic, “Love Me Tender.”

Over the past few weeks, we have given everyone a glimpse into the World Campus — Japan program. You have heard a lot about what we do and how we felt as we did it. We now want to let you hear one of our participant’s thoughts after she returned to the “real” world. Meghan Kuts participated in program 1 and 2 of the WCI Summer 09 tour. She made this video a little more than a month after she returned home. Take a look!!!
