Message from Takuya

Hello! My name is Takuya Fukuda, and I am a third-year student in the School of International and Area Studies at Tokyo University of Foreign Studies. Currently, I am studying sociology at the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Zambia in Lusaka, the capital city. My study abroad period is one semester, approximately five months.
I chose Zambia as my study-abroad destination for several reasons. It is a relatively safe country in Africa, English is widely spoken, and soccer is very popular here. This is my first time living abroad, so I am doing my best to adjust to daily life. I am eager to learn about the culture and traditions of Zambia while gaining a wealth of new experiences by interacting with the local people. Having played soccer since childhood, I am particularly looking forward to engaging with Zambians through playing soccer.
I am determined to make the most of this study abroad experience, ensuring it becomes a significant and enriching chapter in my life. Finally, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has supported me in making this journey possible. Thank you very much. I am excited to enjoy my time in Zambia!
