Meet Haruki Tanaka, a 22-year-old exchange student from Japan who spent a year studying at the University of Waterloo in the Environment faculty. Haruki loves the diverse culture of Canada but is feeling homesick for the vibrant streets of Tokyo and the comforts of authentic Japanese cuisine. After experiencing the harsh winter and longing for cherry blossoms, Haruki has decided it’s time to return home and embrace the familiar life and friendships that await.
