We were visited by 10 students from Miriam College in the Philippines from 29 May to 10 June as part of our sister school program. As their visit has come to a close, we’d like to thank our visitors for sharing their time with us at Hakuho. Although typhoon Jangmi brought some unexpected changes to the schedule, the exchange was filled with memorable experiences, cultural learning, and new friendships.
　During their stay, the exchange students joined a Japanese cooking lesson with our Food Course, and learned how to make dorayaki. They also took part in a cultural exchange event with the entire Global Course, where the Miriam students introduced their school and country through wonderful presentations and music. In return, our students shared a presentation about origami and presented them with strings of paper cranes as a symbol of friendship.
　As Hakuho’s students studied online, our guests enjoyed a busy final three days in and around Kanagawa. Their adventures included a trip to Tokyo DisneySea, where they rode the Tower of Terror more times than was sensible! They also visited Kamakura, the nearby beach, Yokohama and Cosmo World. These experiences gave them more opportunities to explore Japan and create lasting memories together.
　On their final morning, students gathered to exchange emotional goodbyes before heading to the airport. While it was difficult to see them leave, we are grateful for the friendships that were formed during their stay. We are pleased to report that all students and teachers arrived safely back in Manila last night. We hope this visit was as fun and fulfilling for them as it was for us, and we’re looking forward to seeing them again when we visit Miriam College in January.

　5月29日至6月10日期间，菲律宾米里亚姆学院的10名学生通过与本校的交换留学项目来校访问。本校衷心感谢来访的同学们与我们共同度过在白鹏的这段时光。虽然受台风“蔷薇”（Jangmi）影响，部分日程不得不作出调整，但这次交流充满了许多回忆与收获，以及崭新的友情，是一次非常精彩的交流。
　在逗留期间，学生们参加了美食课程的日本料理实习，尝试制作铜锣烧。此外，在全球课程全体举办的文化交流会上，米里亚姆学院的学生们通过出色的演示和歌曲介绍了自己的学校与菲律宾。作为回礼，本校学生就折纸作了介绍，并赠送了千纸鹤串饰作为友情的象征。
　在白鹏的学生们上在线课程期间，米里亚姆的同学们在神奈川周边度过了充实的最后三天。在东京迪士尼海洋，他们多次挑战“惊魂古塔”，简直到了“也许坐得有点太多了”的程度！除此之外，他们还游览了镰仓、海岸、横滨以及横滨太空世界（Cosmo World），在日本留下了更多回忆。
　最后一天的早上，学生们聚在一起，在依依不舍中度过了温馨的告别时光，随后前往机场。送别虽令人不舍，但我们十分感谢在这次逗留中建立起来的友情。
　昨晚我们收到消息，所有学生与带队教师都已安全抵达马尼拉。希望这次访问对各位而言，也如同对我们一样，是一次愉快而充实的经历。我们也期待1月白鹏的学生们访问米里亚姆学院时，能够再次与大家相见。
