It was another unforgettable moment to add to our long-standing friendship. We would like to thank Kabe-sensei, Ooyama-sensei and all Waseda student friends for coming down to Singapore and continuing to forge a strong friendship between NTU JAC and Waseda. We hope to see them again soon!

Every year on February, JAC organizes a Japanese Cultural Festival (JCF) within the NTU Campus. Its purpose is to draw the members closer and to introduce a little bit about Japanese culture to the rest of the school. 2015’s JCF was themed “Festivals of Japan” and saw three days of fun from 4th to 6th February, outside Nanyang Auditorium. Let us take a look at some of the games we had!

Is everyone tired from the mad rush during JCF? We’re holding our J-party to celebrate the completion of JCF 2015! We are inviting all subcommittee/members to join us for this event.

On 7th January 2015, we attended a tea ceremony conducted by NUS Sado Club. The NUS Sado Club is a student interest group under the NUS Department of Japanese Studies. Established since 1989, the club practises the traditional Japanese tea ceremony in the Enshuryu style. We were excited to be given an opportunity to attend a tea ceremony and look forward to learning more about the preparation of tea.

On the afternoon of the 4th November, we met our guests at the School of Biological Sciences (SBS). We were glad to take up this opportunity of hosting a group of students for the Kagoshima Prefecture Youth Exchange School Visit 2014.

Our annual JCF is coming up soon, taking place from 4-6 February 2015. Our booths are open from 10am – 5pm daily and we are located at the walkway outside NTU Coffee bean and Nanyang Auditorium.

On 15 Oct, JAC organized its annual Study, Work and Travel (SWT) Japan Talk. It was certainly an eye-opener as all of us got to discover the many opportunities awaiting for us to visit Japan!
