May Festival at the University of Tokyo

2012-05-20 00:34:07 | グローバリゼーション関連
I was in Tokyo today. It has been almost 2 months since I was there last time.
I have been so busy for my assignments and global research projects. This week I left my hospital around 12 midnight almost every day to finish writing a manuscript. I still have to finalize it tomorrow.

Now, I attended an open seminar at the University of Tokyo today. There were approximately 60 people from many different countries. Students from the University of Tokyo were the majority.

I was very impressed to see that many Japanese people spoke English very well. They may be foreign born, but not all of them.The discussion topics were innovations and creativity.

I am confident that those younger people will change our society.

I will take risks to challenge the present complex difficulties in our home country!
