Japan

I spent one year in Kanazawa, Japan, from October 2002 to September 2003. Naturally I also traveled around the country and took a lot of pictures. A small selection is on display here.

Added 20.02.2004: My exchange year report (in Finnish) is now available.

Added 08.02.2004: I gave a presentation about my exchange year during the HUT international info day February 3, 2004. Slides in pdf format (in Finnish, approx. 1 MB).

Added 10.03.2005: I gave a presentation about my exchange year and other exchange study opportunities in Japan in Cultural Centre Caisa, Helsinki, March 10th, 2005. Slides in pdf format (in Finnish, approx. 2.3 MB).
