A Decision I've Made - Christian Maeda

    I am now attending to Meijo challengers program which is provided by my Japanese university. Trough this program, I learn a lot of thing such as leadership, the way to create own carrier plan, and global mind. Therefore, I am really happy with attending to this program, but it was hard to decide to take this program. There are several points that make this decision hard for me. 

     One of the biggest points was about the place and the time the classroom held. If I become a member of this program, I had to take a bus to go to the other campus to take that class. In addition, because this is extra class, it finish at 20ish. It took more than one hour to come back home, it means I cannot start doing my homework untill 22 o'clock. I also cannot have a dinner with my family because I come back home late. That is the worst thing.

    However, I decide to take that program. Because of that one of the statement written on the offer letter strike me. It said I can go to America for 2 weeks and study about global mind. I was really looking forward to going America. Unfortunately, because of COVID19, school decided not to go to America, so I was really shocked.

    Nevertheless, if I had the opportunity, I will choose the same choice. Through this program, I had a great chance to make friends whose from other faculty. They know more about their studies such as IT, Financial, Marketing, Environment,et cetera. Those knowledge are really important to live now a days, but I know just little about those. Therefore, I was really happy to become friend with them.

    This program has helped me a lot. Well done on your decision, Christian.

    It is often true that opportunities have both benefits and costs. I am glad that you feel that the benefits you have accrued through joining this program outweigh the costs. David :-)

Fishing makes me happy -LEIL

To be honest, I have almost never fishing in China.  After coming to Dunedin, I started to like fishing. Dunedin is near the sea and there are many suitable fishing spots nearby. I like to go fishing in Port Chalmers on weekends with my friends. I think fishing helps me to release stress, exercise my willpower, and we will have fish to eat.

Market Day Debrief - Nagisa Kanakubo

   Today's market was fun because there were a lot of shops. I saw accessory shops and clothes shops and tried a game, too.  It was the most interesting that many of the accessories were made by people. Both of the students and the sellers seemed to enjoy the market.  I felt this market was one of the interesting cultures for the students and the local people in New Zealand.

Surveillance Technology- Hiromi Yoshioka

   I think the surveillance technology will help keep us safe, because if we use surveillance technology, we can notice crimes easily. The surveillance technology will help us to prevent or solve crime. Also, the picture quality of security cameras is really good these days, so the police can identify criminals more easily and it will help move investigation forward smoothly. Also, not only for prevention or investigation of crime, but for children's safety, the surveillance technology is useful. It means that if a child gets lost, parents or other adults can search for him or her by using the surveillance technology. That technology must help improve safety for children.   However, the surveillance technology can sometimes invade our privacy if it is used wrongly. The abuse of the surveillance technology is dangerous for us, because the abuse of that technology measns that someone can know what we do or recognize our personal information without noticing us. So, we must understand
