Trip To Japan


The Trip To Japan



Trip To Japan
It was a very amazing and well organized program  that  Twincle has conducted. Luckily I was invited to represent Senior High School 3 Bandung  West Java  Indonesia to go to Chiba University  and it was my first trip to Japan. I spent there only for 5 days but it was unforgettable experience. We were welcomed and assembled in meeting point at Narita Airport. We met some nice  familiar faces from Japan. Then we drove to Chiba University on bus. It took us around  forty five minutes   to arrive at Chiba University Campus. It is very huge campus with some buildings in the site when I recognize later on actually there are Elementary school, Junior High School and Senior High School in the location.  Moreover the   blossom white flowers and the shade tall trees around the campus  were so amazing. 




 
It was so lovely to see.  There were several activities on the first day. Gathering  in  a class  to have  some tea and  cookies, we talked  with the hosts  to make us comfort  to new atmosphere especially for  some participants  who were first time to come to Japan. Afterward we were  introduced to class activities before we had our lunch. The lecturers told us not only about their curriculum applied in their lecture but also the programs run in the laboratories as we observed some rooms.
 
It was very warm and heartened welcome when we had our lunch  and several spectacular performances from some students and lecturers performed as some of participants took part in the performances.

 
Before we had a tour to university library we posed in front of our own camera. All participants looked enthusiasm sly to the program arranged.
The library is very cozy for the students to study and find the articles there. The library is so spacious equipped with all sophisticated  gadgets and computers and abundant source of books and materials.  
 

After looking around the library for half an hour,  we came to our hotel we spent  for  4  nights . It was very tall and big luxurious hotel  with delicious food we had in our dinner and every morning breakfast.
 
In the first night we had a welcome party with all the Twincle  participants. All looked very charming and kind. The food was very delicious and beautifully  arranged with some garnished on it. It was wonderful dinner I had.
It was also the time to introduce the  25 participants coming from 5 universities in Indonesia. There are delegates from Indonesia University ( UI ) from Jakarta , Bogor Agricultural Institute ( IPB ) and  Bandung Technology Institute ( ITB ), Gajah Mada University ( UGM ) from  Jogyakarta and Udayana University from  Bali. We are coming from different provinces in  Indonesia  except IPB and ITB , there are coming from the same province West Java.
  There were a lot of choices of stuffs served by talented and skillful cooks.

In the following day the program had been arranged. After we had our lunch we prepared to assembly in a hall which the students of the Twincle program presenting the activities they had done in some places in Indonesia.

 It was very attractive presentations that the students contributed in their performances. The audience questioned the presenters and  it  enhanced the  all participants to take part in the programs. The meetings lasted for nearly 5 hours and none left the room till the students of Junior High School and Senior High School presented their experiments in front of us.

   
The meeting stopped at 6 p.m  on 16 March 2013 and we had dinner in Chiba Cafeteria.  We were getting closer and closer to each other as the time went by.

It was Sunday. My friends from Bandung and I  would like to see the cherry blossom so we planned to go to Tokyo by train. It was very awesome to see the Japanese in the  train. They were so nice people always walking in rush and keep silent no sound among them. We had to go Ueno Park as one guest in the cafeteria told us. It was so beautiful park and I saw a lot of people capturing the lovely cherry blossom.
 

It was our last day that we had to visit schools around Chiba University. We visited to a  science class in Junior High School. The students were so attentively having their experiment in their chemistry class. It took only half an hour to be there then we come to Chiba Municipal Senior  High School.  I recognized that the students were so seriously studying on the subjects as they had presented on the slides on the previous 2 days.

At last,  In the afternoon we had a farewell party. Still the cooks served us delicious food for us. On that occasion one of my students came to see me. He is a doctor now he is studying in remote sensing in Chiba university. I feel so happy knowing this that there are a lot of Indonesian students studying in Japan.

 Hopefully it remarks a good prosperous future for Indonesian students especially in joining the Twincle program.
Thank you for every one, to all my fellows all the best you have done. I am so speechless to gratitude to the kindness all the hospitality. It is my awesome grateful memories I have got ..
