Hi, my name is Masatoshi. I live in Yokohama in Japan. I’m a freshman of the Aoyama Gakuin University. My major is international communication. I’m studying very hard at the University. I’m participating in this program because I want to improve my English skills and know the American culture. This trip is my first trip abroad, so I was a little bit nervous at first. But now I’m very excited to come to such a comfortable place! My first impression of America is everything is bigger than Japan. For example, the road is broad and the University is very large like a small town, and foods are really big size! Although the taste is good, it is always hard to eat all of them. Anyway, I’ll enjoy this program!

I'm so glad you are here! It sounds like many of you agree that everything is BIGGER here! I'm excited to go exploring with you for the next two weeks and seeing all that BIG America has to offer.
Hi Masatoshi! Welcome to the United States, the state of Maryland, and the University of Maryland. It is one of the larger state universities but far from the largest. In fact, I was surprised to learn from Wikipedia just now that the largest university in the US is Ohio State University! It has over 52,500 students at its largest campus in Columbus! I think UM has around 30,000. Anyway, it's big!
I agree about the outsize portions you get when you eat in a restaurant. It's too much food! That explains why a lot of Americans are overweight.
Nice to meet you in blog, Masatoshi^^
I'm Ai, a member of AGU 2007. How is your impression after arriving in Maryland!?
Yeah, I also think everything is bigger than Japanese food, ground and so on. But don't WORRY^^! Perhaps you come to eat one dish by yourself at the end of the tour, hahaha^^
