On my previous Penang trip, I took two consecutive Singapore Airlines’ midnight economy flights to save costs. Some brief naps made subsequent work difficult.
This time, I chose business class via Beijing at a reasonable price. The flat-bed seat provided perfect sleep. Waking up over Ho Chi Minh City, I felt refreshed. Though slightly tired in Singapore, I was in better shape than after economy. Quality sleep beats travel time.
There are countless ways to travel to Singapore for research. I had always stuck to direct flights, but they were unusually expensive this season.
Surprisingly, Air China’s business class was cheaper than Singapore Airlines’ economy. While layovers add some inconvenience, priority boarding helps avoid queues and fatigue. Broadening my perspective has given me a new card to play.
Second Toyohashi Minato City Marathon. As I start running, my legs feel heavy. It’s tough. Hot. What am I fighting against? It’s my shadow.
Where have you been, the OS that transcends my shadow? I never see you in daily life. 10km in 43:50. The improvement from last year and this victory over my shadow – that feels good.
People often say that students these days have lost their ability to organize social gatherings since COVID. It’s like a vanishing traditional art. Yet somehow, our lab is different – this skill remains vibrant here.
I’m amazed at how we’ve gathered such talented organizers. I’m grateful for yesterday’s lab party organization. It was truly enjoyable.
Today we had a party with Shibata and Nagai labs. During my stay in Singapore, I missed chances to connect with students, creating distance.
This party helped bridge that gap. The relaxed atmosphere let me see different sides of students. Through talks, I gained new perspectives on our group dynamics. These events strengthen our lab community. Thank you. I look forward to hearing everyone’s thoughts next time.
朝は授業、午後は研究室ミーティング、木曜日は大体、息つく暇がない。そして応募締切も重なる。 そんな時こそお亀堂(豊橋)の和菓子。草餅のよもぎの香り、ふわっふわの大福、焼き立てあん巻き。思い出して、心を落ち着かせる。 Thursdays are hectic – lectures, lab meetings, and deadlines all at once. That’s when I need Okamedo’s sweets in Toyohashi. Their herb mochi, soft rice cakes, and warm sweet rolls – just remembering them brings peace to my mind.
Two years ago, I added my cousin’s new coffee shop to Google Maps – a simple 3-minute task. Today, I found it has reached 1 million views! That’s 1,370 views per day on average. Amazing how digital tools can create such impact with minimal effort! 😊
Major platforms have significant power. A small individual action can create a substantial impact through them.
A challenge in lab management: how to unite diverse student research while preserving individuality?
An answer was found in Ueta Elementary School’s display at Toyohashi Children’s Art Paradise. A train-shaped framework harmoniously integrates artwork from 2nd to 6th graders, showing how a solid structure can embrace different developmental stages as one cohesive piece.
高校生の頃、買い物した記憶もおぼろげな地元の店舗。当時10店舗。今や全国61店舗のチェーンに。扶桑の”本店”から成長する心意気と戦略は良い。 Why not aim for nationwide expansion from a local town? After watching them on TV, I visited Megane Akafudado’s headquarters in Fuso. Why this store?
I vaguely remember shopping here as a teenager when they had just 10 locations. Now they’ve grown into a chain of 61 stores nationwide. I’m impressed by their growth strategy and ambitious spirit, expanding from this hometown headquarters.
メガネ赤札堂扶桑本店前にて In front of Megane Akafudado in Fuso
ここはNHKドキュメント72時間にて、私がメガネをかける理由 初回放送日:2024年10月11日で放送された店舗でした。URL https://www.nhk.jp/…/ts/W3W8WRN8M3/episode/te/E4LQQ56J5J/ This store was featured in ‘Why I Wear Glasses’ aired on NHK on October 11, 2024.”
この図書館の建物は小さいながらも、小学生から高校生までの自分には必要十分でした。ここで好奇心が増え、自学自習タイプになったのは、今の職業の重要な要素ですね。こういう地域の図書館は、最高です。 During my visit home, I revisited the Fuso-cho Library. Growing up here, we had fewer educational options than in the city.
Though modest in size, this library was more than enough for me throughout my school years. The curiosity and self-study habits I developed here became essential to my current career. These local libraries are truly invaluable.
