六位「卡哇伊」的女孩們,在開幕隊呼表演中一鳴驚人,帶來AKB48的熱舞表演,她們是從日本來台灣參賽的《WASEDA》。

Six cute girls performed their team jubilation on the opening ceremony, bringing extraordinary AKB48’s dance and attracting everybody’s eyes. They are the team from Japan-“WASEDA.”

提及來台參加智鐵的初衷,《WASEDA》表示她們想要發展她們的技能,當個具創造力的領導者以及學習者,因此認為智鐵對她們來說是個很好的機會。

Mentioning about the original intention they wanted to join IICC, they said they wanted to develop their skills as a creative leaders and learners so they found it is a good opportunity to try and learn.

《WASEDA》很喜歡台灣,因為台灣人很親切加上台灣的食物都很好吃,她們最喜歡吃台灣的小籠包以及地瓜球。

“WASEDA” loves Taiwan very much, because Taiwanese are all so kind and Taiwanese foods are delicious, their most favorite food are Xiao Long Bao and sweet potato ball.

六位成員中僅有一位去年曾參加過智鐵,對其他成員來說,智鐵是個全新的體驗。她們表示,在闖關的時候,窒礙難行的部分在於題意的了解,因為規則只有全英文跟全中文的,在理解規則上花了許多心力。此次她們最喜愛的關卡是「零食保衛戰」,認為關卡結合了自然知識以及身體的協調性,這令她們感到很有興趣。

There is just one team member that has joined IICC last year. For other members, IICC is a whole new experience. “WASEDA” said that it was so difficult for them to understand the task rules because the rules were all English or Chinese. So, they worked hard on understanding the rules.

“WASEDA” says that their most favorite task this time is “Guardians of the snakes,” it is really interesting because it is a combination between science and physical fitness.

對這群好學女孩子來說,智鐵競賽這個如此特別的經驗讓她們感到十分難忘。

For these diligent girls, participating in IICC is a good experience in their life. They think this contest is so special that they will never forget about it.

來台參與智鐵的《WASEDA》享受闖關過程,她們齊聲表示,期許明年能再度來台參與這場競賽。(記者吳思妮、盧又鉦/採訪報導)
