Question: Hey guys! I’m Mehmed Can Özkan from Turkey, and I have a bit of Japanese experience and due to the culture my parents brought home from Tokyo after living there in the nineties for three years, and my winter experiences in Kyoto including Japanese economy, cultural sites, food culture, language, O-Noh theatre and more, I really enjoy a broad understanding of all of the cultural levels. From what I understand you do not need to be Japanese to partake. I’d be very happy to get information about how I can take part. I’d also love to be a part of organizing the events you mention on the websites. Thank you! Best wishes, Mehmed Can Özkan - Mehmed Ozkan
Konnichiwa Mehmed! So great to hear about your interest and past experiences with Japanese culture. Yes, you do not need any Japanese literacy to have fun in this club. To hear about our upcoming events and get to know about the board and its members, we encourage you to join our SAC Fair Info session and check out our social media pages for event announcements! See you soon :)
