Scavenger hunts around Tokyo, Noh theater and Judo demonstrations, and afterhours jaunts for food, music, and events - it’s all part of the student experience of Technos International Week.

Dozens of Trinity students, faculty, and staff have experienced this fully funded trip to Tokyo supported by Technos College and the Tanaka Memorial Foundation, but it can be hard to describe exactly what the experience is like.

Ugnė, Naisola, and Simal give an inside look in a new blog on the CUGS site. Check it out here: https://www.trincoll.edu/cugs/blog/exploring-tokyo-at-technos-international-week-three-ways/
