Hola amigos en todo mundo!
I am Recep..and I participated the SWY 12 ( B Group) in 1999. First I can say that I am the one of the most luckiest person in this world.. this organization was more than a dream and every thing in this ship had been organized perfectly by Japan government..We met with lots of friends from all over the world and we shared our lifes together in every seconds.. and the best side is we are still talking with that guys and keeping on sharing our lifes as when we were in Nippon Maru.. in my opinion this is the best culturel program for youth…thanks a lot again the Japanese people….
Well well…about me…I am a dentist and after my university I studied Master of Business Administration…now I am working for a International Dentistry Company ( Dentsply) in Ankara as a regional sales manager..living in Ankara..
Loves and regard.

Hello everyone.I am Yeşim Tufanyazıcı and I am 22 years old.For the last 5 years I've been a student in Japanese language and literature and this was a real good reason for me to wish to participate in this programme.What I should say is that organization was beyond all my expectations and I enjoyed it a lot.I not only had the chance to visit many countries and get to know Japanese culture and people deeper but also I have so many friends from all over the world now.That was really a good experience for me.Moreover meeting Japanese people was a good opportunity because I want to work as a tour guider in the future.I really want to thank Cabinet Office and Government of Japan for that wonderful organization.

I am Zeynep, i am a 24 years old person living in Istanbul. When i heard about the SWY program i just wanted to participate in that amazing opportunity and i was very happy when i find out i was chosen to represent my country in that program.I was in my last year in the university and by participating SWY i took the risk to miss some exams and courses in uni that wonna affect my graduation. And now i am very happy to participate that great program that gave me more than i had expected. SWY program was without any doubt a great experience for me. We did not only had the chance to visit a lot places in the world, we also had the chance to meet so many wonderful persons from all over the world. Travelling in pacific, being involved in so many activities both in board and in the countries we had visited and feeling the frienship and solidarity during and after the program contribute a lot to my way of observing life and the events. I really appreciate Cabinet office, Government of Japan that gave me that great opportunity to participate SWY.
