I Found A “Great” Thing on My Lab Desk
January 7, 2010 at 2:31 AM | Posted in Japan, School Stuff | 13 CommentsYesterday, January 6th 2009, I finally went back to my lab again after being absent for a long time. When I got into my room, it was empty. Nobody from my lab was inside, there were only people from the neighbouring lab. But there was one thing welcoming me on my desk, a paper in Japanese with the title “グリッド。コンピュータを用いトラス橋の構造設計の試み”, which was a paper for designing steel truss bridge with grid computer in Japanese.

During my visit to Chisetsu Elementary School to class 1-4, we played a lot of games. All the games we played were traditional Japanese games. These are the games I played with the children at Chisetsu Elementary School.
The first game was the game of putting one of our palm on our fist. There was a song for that game and when the song was sung, we had to, for example, put our right palm below our left fist, and then move our right palm above our left fist. After that we had to change the role of our hands by putting our left palm below our right fist and then move it above our right fist. The movement was repeated until the song ended. When the song ended, we could be called successful if we had our palm on our fist, not below our fist.
