Kyoto is known as a city that’s especially friendly to foreign visitors and college students. Kyoto has 39 major colleges and universities. In this video clip Jeff takes us to a university located in the heart of the city, on Shijo Street, the broad "avenue" that runs east and west, from Yasaka Shrine to Matsuo Shrine. Kyoto University of Foreign Studies, the school where Jeff teaches, has a motto with an important message: "Pax Mundi per Linguas" (World Peace through Languages). Jeff shows us his office and quizzes us about an artifact of Japanese culture. This clip is informative as well as entertaining.
