Visit Green River Community College and a Local Retirement Home


We visited our sister school Green River Community College around noon.  We had lunch at the student center, and then met two students from Seiryo College who had been studying for the past 5 months at GRCC.  We next looked around some modern buildings on campus.  The campus was huge and full of nature and looked very different from our college in Japan.  We then left the campus for our next destination: a local nursing home.

We visited a nursing home near the study center. A staff member first showed us around, and the place was like a beautiful condo or hotel with nice facilities and staff.  We later joined a group of residents, who were having afternoon wine and snacks, and sang some songs for them and enjoyed talking with them.  The senior people we met were all so nice and cute to talk with.  Among others, a Japanese lady called Fumiko made our visit very fun.  She was so lovely!
