Welcome June, this is the third month I
stayed in Sapporo. The weather is getting warm and also there is so much
beautiful green scenery in Hokkaido University. This month, there is a lot of
activity that held in June. The first one is my laboratory field trip, than

First, I’d like to tell my laboratory
fieldtrip experience. In the beginning of June, 2 and 3 June, I have laboratory
fieldtrip. Our laboratory member, students and professor join this trip. In my
laboratory we have eleven students, two Indonesian, two Japanese, four Chines
and one Vietnamese than two professor. In this field trip, we spent two days
and one night. In the first we visited Hokkaido Research Organization,
Agricultural Experiment Station. In this place we are looking for the crop
technology that farmers in Hokkaido used. To manage the farm, researcher and
farmer collaborate each other by using GIS technology, so farmers can easier
manage their farm. After that, we take lunch and went to outdoor school. This
kind of school usually using for out bond activity and we stay one night in
this place.
