Irfan's First Two Weeks in Hokkaido
Started by
long journey from Indonesia to Sapporo, I arrived in New Chitose international
airport two weeks ago. Getting tired because of less sleeping which I have got
suddenly lost when I realized that I arrived in Japan. At last my first day in
Hokkaido was begun. Several orientations from PARE committee started my first
activity at HU. Knowing more about other participants and committees in PARE
program was first agenda at that day. It was so amazing experience for me. In
addition, campus trip and introducing HU facilities made me really curious at
this university.
Next day was
time to join in graduate school orientation. Several great lectures which I have
got really improved my basic knowledge about sustainable environment, society
and industry especially happened in Japan. In addition the lecturer introduced
us about several japan problems including how to solve it. Interesting lectures
I think.
At last, the
time to join sensei laboratory was come. Accompany by Matsui san, the
supporter, I met my supervisor, Ohtani sensei, during I have been here.
Introducing the lab member and great facilities in his laboratory, became main
agenda at that day. My truly daily life in Hokkaido, doing research in
laboratory, was begun. Searching lot of literatures which I need to do research
was first task that Ohtani sensei asked.
Unfortunately,
today is October 14, 2013 that I still get trouble in adaptation with the
weather. I got sick getting trouble with my skin since three days ago.
Hopefully it is the last day that I get sick then I will celebrate the special
moslem day, Idul Adha, tomorrow with healthy.
For today lot taking rest probably will be better for me. Keep fighting ^_^
