Dayan Miyamoto @ Dayan Lee Baumgartner from Japan, who is among the 950 new students welcomed at Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD) for its August intake yesterday, said he hopes to improve his English language skills, make new friends, share Japanese culture and traditions with Bruneians and promote Brunei when he returns back to Japan.
He said Brunei is a mysterious country for many Japanese people and his senior, who previously studied in the Sultanate, recommended him to consider the Sultanate.
His compatriots Sadamu Nishikawa, Haruki Kamimura and Shintaro Kido, similarly look forward to experiencing a different culture.
