What I learnt from JENESYS- JAPAN!!!

ROSHAN BHANDARI

I cannot define in words my happiness to describe my recent visit (January 21-29, 2019) to Japan as a Nepali delegate for JENESYS BATCH 2-Health and Medicine! The overall development, advancements in health and every field, the landscapes, the culture & food, the work ethics and hospitality of Japanese people, and the heavenly experience of home-stay mesmerized everybody! Besides, the visit taught us the norms and values of friendship & love regardless of the geographical and political boundaries! There was always a huge support from our ever-hard-working and humble Japanese Coordinators to make our trip a success! Never did they get tired of their responsibilities! The love among all different delegates cum friends from different SAARC nations was splendid!

    I would particularly like to specify a few important things out of many things that I witnessed in Japan:

Health: Preventive medicine is given significant importance by the government.

Education: The Playway method of learning is emphasized so that all children learn by doing.

Bravery: The A-bomb destruction was turned around into an opportunity for rejuvenation

Infrastructure: planned urbanization with all facilities, well-maintained traffic, and yes, the forthcoming Olympics in TOKYO is being seen as an opportunity for resurrecting the society.

Administrative works: Well-planned with proper decentralization of power and work.

Environment: No air or noise pollution. A lesson to learn that we can develop the infrastructure without affecting the environment, or with proper care of the environment.

   Japan made me very fascinated by the love, hospitality of the people and Japanese culture! Japan has always been one of the beautiful countries in the world, be it in natural beauty or the advancement in technologies! Besides, the people are equally hardworking, humble, and we got to learn so much of humanity, benevolence, and punctuality from the Japanese people. In a nutshell, the lessons and the rejoicing memories that I have earned from my JAPAN visit are worth a million! 

      And yes, I miss my little Japanese mate- 'Sichan'!
