TUJ activites helped but wish we had cultural partners or something there to talk to |

* Health Care:
How well were health issues addressed during the program? |
Went to a clinic where no one spoke Japanese (in roppongi). Had to use Google translate. All should provide additional support, perhaps by forming a connection with a clinic students know they can go to and feel confident when they are there |

Best city ever, also in terms of safety |
