Princess Kako

Who wants to matriculate

European education for intellectual fields is best ?

As a European, going to England as student is the easy choice when you are hopeless in languages.

Ee bah gum lass, enjoy thisel in God's county.

Wonder what the royal family will say when she comes back with a "gaijin" boyfriend.

Penske - her uncle and aunt (Naruhito and Masako) both studied in Britain and the emperor himself proudly announced his Korean roots in his New Year speech in 2001 shortly before the joint Japan/Korea World Cup, so I suspect a foreign boyfriend would be no problem to the famiy.

Kudos to her for going to Leeds, I have many happy memories of living in the city.

She'll come back with a whippet and a racing pigeon.

Good for her, I hope she enjoys her time in Yorkshire.

Don't forget the flat 'at and black pudding or learning the ancient marshal art of Ecky Thump!

Good luck to her, Leeds is a not bad city these days!

I hope she learns of the rest of the world outside Japan

learning the ancient marshal art of Ecky Thump!

The time when a viewer really did die laughing.

Don't forget the flat 'at and black pudding or learning the ancient marshal art of Ecky Thump!

I don't want to start another war of the Rosies, but aren't black puddings and Ecky Thump associated with Lancashire. The poor lass could be in a bit of bother if she turns up spouting such things. The whippet and pigeons sound safer.

Eyup, t'lass'd bes'not go up on't Ilkley Moor baht'at.

A 'yopes 'er 'as a gran' time, er's a gradely-lukkin' lass.

Yorkshire's a beautiful place...grew up there...but Leeds Uni? Well, if nowt else, yer'll get a reet eye op'nin' t' life thur lass!

I hope she learns of the rest of the world outside Japan

She'll certainly learn that the world isn't as safe as Japan, in Leeds!

Don't forget the flat cap.

22 years old and still only a Junior. Must be nice to take you time, quits schools at your will. All the while having the citizens of Japan footing your bill. Sweet deal.

Part of my family is from Leeds, therefore I am very happy that the princess has chosen to study at the University of Leeds.

I hope that she feels very welcome and is successful with her studies.

She will arrive in Yorkshire as the same anybody else at Leeds University - a student.

Good luck

Japanese high society people sent their children to England to study before WWII eras.

toshiko, they still do.
