Philippines + Japan: A Story of Friendship

Last week, (during Mike's Online English lesson,) Kurt talked about his memories of a Rissho student who visited MKD two years ago. The student's name is Taisei Nagai, who is now a 3rd-year Kokusai Course student. At the time Taisei visited the Philippines, he was a 1st-year student just like you! Kurt, Maffy, Rona, Nathalie, and other MKD tutors and students met this adventurous student, and they all became friends. Of course, they first met online during the Online English lessons, but they met each other in person in Davao City (at MKD) in 2018. They now share true friendship and have made lifelong memories. 👐

Kurt sent the photos below, and we decided to post them on this blog. These photos give you an idea of how fun it is in the Philippines 😀, and how wonderful the city and people of Davao really are. Next, we are going to hear from the tutors and from Taisei about their friendship and their memories.
