After spending the Spring Semester abroad in Japan, Colin Kremus, Steds junior, is now back stateside. Learning the language, Colin also discovered an affinity for Japanese culture, and while his three month visit may be over, there is no doubt that he's already planning to return. Perhaps it was all the flashing lights, the constant crowds, or sushi and sake, Kremus has fallen in love with Japan. On his study abroad experience, Kremus shared, "Spending five months completely immersed in a culture and area of the world so different from my own of course came with many challenges. More than anything else, however, my experiences in Japan (navigating cities and their oftentimes maze-like public transportation systems, persevering through conversations that eventually led to new acquaintances, and constantly being reminded of how big the world truly is) served as a definitive confirmation that I was following a path that I was meant to be on. I am certain that this path will lead me back to Japan and all of the wonderful connections I was blessed to have made there.”
