Nobu
What is the best recommendation in Beppu?
Sufun
I still haven’t explored recently. So, for me, it’s very like three opinions. I would say APU campus is the best place to stay. So, because I share like, you know, nice materials. And also, like facilities that yes, we can focus on something. And if you want to like meet your friends, you can come to every campus and there will be like some students. Some like your friends. So yeah, it might be weird, but I would say if you can place this.
Nobu
Thank you. Well, I guess last. What’s the most important to encounter in your life?
Sufun
Important encounter? in my life？
Nobu
Yes, in your life.
Sufun,
okay, I’d say, English professors. I mean, I know before I came to APA, like kind of impressions of professors are kind of a bit like distance distant from students. Okay. So soon I have always like felt Kenya distance between students and professors. Like, when I first took English course, I three felt like professors were like, very close. And they don’t like to try treating us like students just they’re always at the same as perspective from us. So yeah, so English press festers might be people that I’m here like blood to me.
Sufun
Yeah, important, and, yeah, okay. I have to say one thing. And, you know, since like, they are older than us, they have a lot of experiences, in life. So, it’s very great to have your like Big Brother or like yeah, some older and you so you can they you know, they can give us a nice story and what is important for our life and in our like university life. So just try to have at least like one thing like, workout, one person who is very close to you, and who is older than you.
Nobu
