ICTE Chorus

Hi!! I'm a member of ICTE Chorus, so today I'd like to tell you about the concert on 23rd of May.

We had a performance in Woollongabba. It was a music festival which was hold by church.
There was also a flea market selling books, clothes and household items.

It was small but friendly!

We wore only black clothes and put purple accessories(because it is UQ color).

In the concert, we sang 3 songs. The first song was I WANT IT ALL sung by Queen. This song is really powerful and cool. When we were singing, we imagined what we want.(For me, it was the score of IELTS!) In the middle of this song, we clapped hands. I was exciting and I enjoyed it very much.

The second song was COUNT ON ME sung by Bruno Mars. It describes about frendship and it's very lovely! We could make good balance becouse the first song was rock music.

The final song was I WILL FOLLOW YOU. This song is from the movie" Sister Act". For me, "you" in this song is Vicki because she worked hard every week for us, and I think she is the best conductor in the world!

You can watch our perfomances on You Tube too. Check it please!

After the concert, we went to German restaurant. We enjoyed beer and delicious food.

For this performance, we did a rehearsal every Monday and Wednesday. It was a little bit hard but exciting and memorable! We have many perfoemances regulary. There will be a performance in City next month too. Please join us!

My new life in Brisbane

About a month has passed since I came to Brisben, in Australia.
I'd like to tell you about my experience so far.


Every day I go to school by train and walking. I think  Australian train is less convenient than Japanese one. It does't come on time and is very few in the weekend. But I can stand now because I get used to be here.

My university is really big. There are a lot of nature and we can enjoy very beautiful view. In addition, there are a lot of library. I was surprised at the number of them. My Japanese university has only one library. I found that that's why UQ students are intelligent.

Australian class is totally different from Japanese one. We can share our ideas with each other.In my class, I can meet very kind friend from many countries. They are very powerful and outgoing. I can't follow them even now, but they  make me inspired. Teachers are also fun. They make me laugh and often ask me about my country. I really love them.

On Friday,the school ends 1pm ,so we can hang out with my friends.
I went to a lot of places like museum, market and karaoke. Everything is fun but also expensive.

Finally, I introduce about my host family.
My host family is 3 members. There are a mother, 7 years old girl, and 7 months baby.
They are very kind. My host mother always cheers up me when I feel sad and children come to my room and talk to me. They are so cute. I do like spending time with them.


I left 9 months to live here. I want to spend my precious time with my incredible friends, teachers and host family not to waste.
