A glimpse at my KCP time

by Rachel Brown

I loved my time in Tokyo with KCP.  Here are a few slices of my life then–

Preparation before the speech contest. For moral support, we did a drawing of our classmate who was making the speech.

Hanging out with fellow classmates
Hanging out with my Korean classmates. It was the first time I ate Korean food.

Visiting Japan's China town
My visit to one of Japan’s three Chinatowns.  The shrine was beautiful.
