First week at Doshisha

I just finished my first week as a graduate student at Doshisha University. A lot has happened and I got many new friends here.

I’ve joined my first student circle, the kendo club kenrenkai(剣練会). Went to a seminar by a Google manager. I had courses in Accounting, Critical and Analytical Thinking, Business Economics and Strategic Management. They have many fancy names but seems basic so far. Exactly one week ago we were welcomed by the president and the deans of the school. There were speeches, songs, and prayers. Yes, Doshisha is a school-based upon Christian principles. But more about that later. Here are some pictures!

Taking an MBA in Japan!

Hello! I’ve just created this blog so you can follow me on my coming adventures in Japan. As some of you already know I have applied for Doshisha University’s MBA program and got accepted! This will mean a two-year stay in Kyoto, Japan!

I’m having this blog to write about my life, thoughts, and experiences as a Swedish person and a graduate student at a Japanese university.

After a little more than a year has passed since I left Japan the last time, I’ll be arriving at Kansai International Airport on the 13th September. I’m thankful to have friends there helping me out. One of them offered me to stay at his place the first night even though I’m coming in the middle of the night. After that, I’ll be staying at another friends house until I find an apartment of my own!

The apartment I have in Stockholm will be rented out during the time and I’m packing my bags and going through all my possessions. I must say that I’ve gathered a fair deal of junk so far.
