On the morning, we went for snorkeling, I really enjoyed this activity. it’s my first time experience this activity, so even it’s hot and I got sunburn, but I was very happy. At the evening, we gotta go for home-stay at Ie Island, but I was very surprised that the host family welcome us with a traditional dance of Okinawa. I was really surprise, because they just stand and wait for us under the hot sun. When I arrived at the host family’s house, I was a bit sad, because when I saw the house, it made me feel miss home so much and want to go home immediately. My … Continue reading

I finally got to walk on the beach in Okinawa after having been here for almost a week now! Beach combing was the first activity of the day and it was my first time at it. It really gave me a sense of accomplishment after cleaning the beach, knowing that it was worth every drop of sweat! 😉 It was also interesting how we could find garbage from neighbouring countries on Okinawan beaches but it reminds us that we should always manage our own trash responsibly as well. After lunch, we had a lecture on Education of Sustainable Development. The professor placed a lot of emphasis on education as the … Continue reading

Challenging. Fun. Amazing. These 3 words can aplly sum up today. The 2nd day at Tokashiki Island: an awesome stay so far, with an awesome view and awesome roommates. How much better can that get? First, we had a lecture by Mr. Satoshi Kojima, about Water and Sustainable Development. This is the best lecture that I have sat in so far, the most interesting and also the most informative. It was something that I have never ever heard of before, and thus it was a huge eye opener for me. Then came the group discussions, which allowed us to further deepen our understanding, and to think more about the matter. … Continue reading

We have finally arrived in our second destination – Tokashiki Island! It was an hour or so of travel but I dont really think anybody noticed the time because they were busy either chatting, laughing out loud or just standing there, feeling the breeze. An oishi lunch welcomed us. Some of us played killer game while waiting for the time and after that, we took a lot of pictures on the green field and then the opening ceremony followed shortly afterwards. The afternoon session then started. We played two games – Oh! Deer and To be in their feathers. IT BECAME A WILD GAME! I even fell down during the … Continue reading

Today I just came back from Karate school. I was very happy with this, because I knew a little bit of Karate now. My teacher said that our group and another groups are good, because we just took a short time than we can go on stage to show to people. At that time I was very nervous about it . because I’m afraid I can’t do it well. Finally my group and another groups can do it very well. After that I went to the lecture room. I knew a lot of knowledge from Mr. Shinji Nagase, like the water issues and he showed me a lot of videos … Continue reading

So in the morning we went to the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technologies or OIST . The journey to that place was fun though because we karaoke-d in the bus. When we arrived to the location, we were mesmerized by the view of the beach of Okinawa from the place where the bus parked. And when we entered the OIST, we were mesmerized again with the structure of the OIST building which I assume to be so high technology. We then listened to the speech given by one of the Professor of OIST in the lecture hall. Then we were toured around the OIST to witness the technologies they … Continue reading

Konichiwa, Its really interesting that I can join the Asian Youth Development Program in Okinawa 2011. I reached to Japan on 5 August and stay at Osaka for 2 days due to the typhoon. As I started joining the program it like having non-stop fun and many meaningful program but I’m upset that the Haarii Dragon Boat was canceled. The people in Japan are kind and they are very helping. The food here is totally different from my country but I enjoyed it. I think until here only my writing and I hope this program will always be a good program. Group:G3-1 Country:Malaysia Name:Muhammad Anas bin Sahabuden

August 7th, it was the first morning i came here. I’ve already came in okinawa in Aug 6th because of the thypoon in okinawa. We took the first lecture about “Let’s Become People Of The 22nd Century”. At first I didn’t understand what the professor was saying, but i kept on trying and i got it. And then we had our group discussion about similarities and differences of water and environmental issues. That was very fun. So now, I know that there are many similarities about water related issues. So that was all about my experience on Aug. 7th, what a nice day, my first time in japan. I hope, … Continue reading
