Teaching and the laid back atmosphere.
Make most of the free extracurricular conversation classes with the local students.
Dimitra (21 years - 24.Aug.2010)
The staff is very friendly and helpfull. They`ll help you with anything and go out of their way to do so. also you get a free personal cup while u`r there, you have a selection of beverages, microwave, DVD/Manga/bookselection you can rent or even keep (books) for free. also you get a personal alarm (if ur a woman, not that it`s really necessary but definetely entertaining and assuring), as well as flash cards, so you can learn all the vocab and Kanji quickly..
Go round town at lunchtime to try all the delicious food (ramen, udon, ohagi, motsunabe), and just try to mingle with the japanese, it`s a unique experience.Don`t forget to try the uncountable amount of sweets in Japan. The chocolat is quite delicious(and as a Swiss I have experience when it comes to good chocolat ;)..
