Floor MAP
Resnanti Utami Handayani (from Indonesia)
I feel comfortable living in this room with kitchen. For today’s lunch, I made stir-fried veggies in Indonesian style with the spices I brought from my country. I enjoy chatting with other residents during my free time, and I also enjoy the special experiences often provided in the Communication Hall. The International House is a good place to deepen understanding of different cultures.

Junthorn Udorn (from Thailand)
I use my laptop both in my room and in our lab to push forward my research. I also work hard to master Japanese. To remember Japanese words and to keep Thai proverbs in my mind, I usually utilize my refrigerator. I write those words on slips and put them on the fridge. Cooking and eating is a fun time for me because I can communicate with other residents in the common kitchen and the lounge. We enjoy dinner together several times a week.

Youjo Chin (from Japan)
The life in the International House makes me feel like I’m abroad and it continues to inspire me. International residents often tell me the differences between Japan and their countries and ask me about Japanese culture. Through such a daily life, I sometimes find out that what I used to think of as a common sense is not common at all in international society.
Communication hall
The communication hall is an open space for the residents, KUT students, faculty, staff and local community members to mingle. A wide variety of formal or informal meetings are held here, such as welcome/farewell parties for international students, seasonal events and national festivals of different countries.
