-Who are you?
Describe yourself: name, country you come from, what do you study in our university in Poland?
My name is Zeyad Kai, I am half-Japanese and half-Egyptian and I just finished my first year studying Information Technology. I was born in Japan, but I moved to Egypt when I was one and I spent my school years there, going back to Japan every summer for vacation. -Which country do you like better? I get that question a lot, but I can’t choose because each country has their own special and unique qualities. Japan is way more developed, but Egypt has a special place in my heart because I grew up and went to school there. I speak both Japanese and Arabic which can get confusing sometimes when you try to translate things. I have more friends in Egypt but after I finish my degree I want to live and work in Europe. -What made you decide to study here in Poland and/or specifically UITM? I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do after graduation but I wanted to experience living in a new country. I didn’t have an exact major I was interested in but I chose Information Technology because it has good job prospects and career paths. -Do you remember the first days of studying here? They were great because I got to meet people very quickly. Everyone was so friendly and we became a close group of friends in a short period of time. I thought I would be nervous at the beginning, but within a week I already started to feel more comfortable. -What was your most positive discovery here? I haven’t had time to do much travelling yet, but I went to Wroclaw and it was amazing. I also was happy to find that even though not everyone spoke English, they were always willing to help out in any way they could. -Describe also the struggles you went through: Winter. I bought a winter jacket in January because I didn’t think I would make it through the winter without one.
