Traditional Welcome and Homestay Experience for Japanese Students in Penang
August 23, 2024 (Friday)
After enjoying lunch and a campus tour guided by fellow USM buddies, the group departed for Mainland Penang to immerse themselves in an authentic village homestay experience.
They arrived at their homestay location by 4:30 pm, where they were warmly welcomed by the community. A special welcoming ceremony was organized by SMK Sungai Acheh, featuring a delightful spread of local cuisines and a traditional Boria dance performance to entertain the visitors. This festive atmosphere set the stage for the division of the Japanese students into their respective foster families, marking the beginning of their homestay
experience.
