“The appropriate number of students and teachers' passion for teaching are the best on the off-season basis!”
Disliked
“There are often activities that are similar or cost money, but I didn't go because I don't know if it's worth paying for it. And I want to make various friends.. Of course, everyone feels differently about this, but we tend to become friends with friends in Asia, Europe, and South America. The ages vary, but in general, under 30s are dominant!”
