My name is Efrain Barranco Padilla. I’m an International student, coming from Mexico, for ten months.

I have come to Japan to make my life more interesting, and learn more about the Japanese culture.  

The teachers and my classmates are being very helpful and nice to me so that I can talk and understand 

the language better.  Ever since coming to Japan, I have been learning so many things from my host 

family and host school, that I think it will change me into a better person. 

My name is Melody Haskins and I come from 

Australia.  My time in Japan so far has been both 

inspirational and challenging, with feelings of 

homesickness, excitement and exhaustion all mixed 

in together.  Even though they are some negative 

feelings, they definitely don't outweigh the good 

things. I have seen and experienced so many places 

different to my own. For example, I went to Odawara 

Castle and dressed as a traditional Japanese 

princess.  This is a place that you will never see in 

Australia.  Not only have I seen tourist sites, but also 

experienced a normal Japanese lifestyle.  KGM has 

offered me such an inspiring opportunity.The 

teachers are very supportive of my study here and 

the students are all so kind that I feel close to them 

already.I hope to become 

closer with everyone so 

that when I return I will 

have lasting friendships 

with the people I met 

here.

Hello, my name is Sofia and I’m from Italy.

I really like sports and drawing. In this 10 months at KGM I want to 

learn many things as possible about Japanese culture. In the future 

I want to study art or languages.

I hope that in this 10 months I can make 

a lot of friends, so please don’t be shy 

and come to talk with me!

I think that KGM students are very kind 

and friendly and I think that I’ll make 

good memories in KGM.
