Crystal, an exchange visitor, recently enjoyed an enriching dinner with her Japanese colleagues and National University of Singapore (NUS) NOC students in the Bay Area. The gathering provided a platform for engaging conversations, where Crystal had the opportunity to learn about her colleagues' internship experiences and exchange cultural insights. The evening was marked by a vibrant exchange of knowledge and experiences, as Crystal shared her understanding of Japanese culture while also learning from her Japanese colleagues and her housemate from the Philippines.
