Airi Inoue

    Hello! My name is Airi Inoue, and I am from Shiga, Japan. It is famous for Lake Biwa, the largest lake in Japan, which offers beautiful scenery throughout the year. I am currently a university student majoring in sports and health science. I love sports, especially baseball. I enjoy not only playing sports but also watching games, listening to music like J-pop, Japanese rock bands.

I am very happy and excited to be here. I really enjoy traveling abroad, and I have visited many countries so far, including several countries in Europe, the United States, Canada, Hong Kong and South Korea. Traveling allows me to experience different cultures, try new foods, and meet people from diverse backgrounds. Every country has its own unique atmosphere, and I always learn something new from each trip.

This is my first time coming to New Zealand, and I am especially looking forward to exploring New Zealand because of its beautiful nature and many beaches. I have heard that New Zealand has stunning landscapes, fresh air, and a relaxed lifestyle. I think I will be able to have many new experiences here that are different from those in Japan. 

I am excited to improve my English, make new friends, and learn more about different cultures during my stay. I am looking forward to studying and growing together with all of you:)) Thank you!

      The country that impressed me is Hungary. Hungary has beautiful but somewhat sad history. I felt that and the Danube River night cruise was the best experience!

ZOU Qingyang

  Hi everyone, this is ZOU Qingyang from Xiamen, a very beautiful coastal city in China. I graduated from the Business School of Fudan University in 2022 with a bachelor’s degree. After that, I worked in the Strategic Business Department of CMOC Group Limited, a leading global mining company, in Shanghai for more than three years until March 2025. Currently, I am a master’s student at the University of Tokyo, majoring in Human and Engineered Environmental Studies, where I analyze how to reduce accident rates in mining companies, taking into account the impact of artisanal miners and host countries. One of my biggest interests is traveling. In 2025, after resigning from CMOC and before starting my studies at the University of Tokyo, I used my savings to take my parents on a one-month trip to Europe. We drove through ten different countries, including Italy, France, Switzerland, Germany, and Spain. Although we encountered many challenges along the way, it was truly an eye-opening exp...

Hi there! My name is Saho Ono . I’m a first-year student at Sophia University , and I’m 18 years old. However, I’m turning 19 on March 3rd, so I would be happy if you could celebrate it next week! It’s a bit embarrassing to say that by myself  😅 I was born in Osaka , but I lived in Tokyo for most of my life. My family consists of four people, mother, father, and younger sister who is a high school student. The reason why I joined this program in Dunedin is that I like studying languages. Actually, my major is French (language), but I started studying it last year, so I’m still a beginner. I would like to have more conversations in English during my stay here and make my English more natural and fluent. Moreover, I want to make friends with both international students and Japanese students ！ My hobby is watching sports, and especially love baseball ！ I have been a big fan of the Hanshin Tigers for more than 10 years. I watch baseball games almost every day, and I sometimes go to...
