Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan: CSEP W23 Ines Pioselli
The biggest cultural shock I experienced was…
Tokyo is extremely clean, and it is very rare that you will find a garbage can on the sidewalk. The people are also very polite and do not talk on the train or metro.
Going on exchange challenged me because...
You get to experience new cultures and meet new people that will become lifelong friends. It also helps you get out of your comfort zone and do new and exciting things that you normally wouldn't do.

A tip I would give to students applying for exchange is…
If you are going somewhere like Tokyo then it is a good idea to learn a bit of the language before going such as common phrases for ordering food. Also save money and time to visit other cities or countries.
