Japan, here we come!!

Hey everyone! The reason I wanted to travel to Japan is that I love traveling and I love pharmacy, so when I was aware of a trip that combines both of these elements I was ready to sign up! My parents are actually from Malaysia so I have traveled to many countries in Southeast Asia previously. Japan seems very unique and progressive compared to other countries in Asia so I am very excited to see what everything is like there.

I am most looking forward to the food!! Ramen, chicken wings, sushi...the best part about traveling is food. I also am really interested to see what health care is like in Japan as I have an interest in global health so I am excited for the opportunity to engage with KGU students and faculty to learn about pharmacy in Japan. 

I am most worried about communication when I am there, as Japanese is a difficult language to speak. I am hoping I don't get too overwhelmed with the writing in stores and find a good app to translate!
