Living and studying in a new culture is both an exciting and a challenging experience. Past participants of study abroad report that the many advantages of international study include: Gaining new perspectives on a chosen academic field Increasing understanding of different cultures Enhancing personal development Developing different perspectives on U.S. culture Gaining self-confidence and independence Learning skills for the future international job market It is up to you to determine how you can best benefit from these possible advantages. This is your adventure! Use this program-specific guide with the more general resources in the Study Abroad Handbook and your BlugoldsAbroad account. While this guide contains the information available at the time of publication, it is impossible for any single resource to answer all of your questions. We encourage you to do your own research, also, through INTS 145 and by using the web resources listed towards the end of this guide, as well as others that you find. Contact the Center for International Education (CIE) staff with your specific questions. Questions only you can answer include: 1) What are YOUR goals for this experience? Advancement in a future profession, desire to expand personal and academic horizons, and wish to challenge yourself in a new environment? 2) Given the way the program is set up, how can you best prepare to meet your goals? For example, if one of your goals is truly being immersed in Japanese culture, yet you are going with a group of American students, how can you ensure that you do not spend too much time with other Americans?

  • Japan-Georgia Ties
    Politics Official relations between Japan and the state of Georgia were first inaugurated in 1973 with the establishment of a Georgia State Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism office in Tokyo. The opening of the Consulate General of Japan in the capital of Atlanta in April 1974 offered a major boost in bilateral political relations. The visit of the Emperor and Empress to Atlanta in June 1994 was a crowning touch to these developing political ties. Political relations and personal contacts are renewed and reinforced every year by Georgia state government officials at the Annual Joint Meeting of the Japan U.S. Southeast Association. The Japanese Government sponsored a visit of two Georgia state legislators to Japan in the late November-early December 1995, one of whom, Mr. Thurbert Baker, is currently the Attorney General of the State of Geor- gia. Economy Georgia is regarded as the center of Japanese industry in the U.S. Southeast. In fact, Japanese-affiliated companies have invested $7.5 billion in Georgia, where 348 Japanese-affiliated companies currently operate. These companies together employ 33,202 workers. Some major Japanese firms in Georgia are YKK (U.S.A.), Inc., Matsushita Battery Corp. of Amer- ica, TNS Mills, Inc., NACOM, Co., Rheem Manufacturing Co., Inc., TNS Mills, Inc., and Yamaha Motor Mfg. Corp. of Amer- ica. Georgia's exports to Japan in 2006 amounted to $1.05 billion, making Japan it's fifth largest export market.
