Objectives of Trip

We want to learn about Kyushu and how it has improved its position in this society. We want to know how Kitakyushu solved its environmental issues and become one of the world's leading eco-town model. Overall, we hope to come back, proud to say that we learned what books cannot teach us.

Reflection on Day 4

Group Reflection
Today, we went to the water science museum to see how the Japanese treat their water to make it clean. We found that they treated their water through natural filtration that was eco-friendly.

After which, we went to a private school where we first went to interact with the university students. They presented a slide show about Japanese delicacy. They talked to us about Basashi (horse meat), the Japanese education system, and simple Japanese.

After which, Kieron, Zelia and Sarah presented about Singapore, giving them a rough idea of what our country was like. We interacted with some of the students there who, with their friendliness and warmth, chatted with us.

After getting their email addresses, we went to join a junior high school class where the students taught us how to write our names in Japanese. We took a tour around the school where we saw a chapel and artifacts of the school. Then, we went to interact with another junior high school class after doing another presentation. They offered us Ocha(green tea) Dodaryaki(Pancake with red bean) as well as took several pictures with us.

We were delighted with the new friends that we made and not only did this school visit enable us to make new friends, but we also feel enriched to be able to see how the education system of other countries differ from our own.
