Study Tour in Japan

I had a great time during Japan Study Tour. I appreciated the effort of those hard-working staffs. Besides, I learned the new field of physical therapy that I haven’t thought before.

During the lecture, I got a lot of new knowledge and idea about physical therapy. For me, I felt surprised that iPS cells can also use in rehabilitation. I think it is very interesting that molecular medicine can really use in the field of rehabilitation and other department which is not the first contact with patients in medical process. In addition, the lecture about France was also impressive. I thought physical therapy in France was advantaged due to the image of Europe’s countries for me. I am glad that I can know difference in each country.

In the tour, I not only took the lectures also had facility tour. We saw the hospital and laboratories in Kyoto University. Physical therapy rooms in Kyoto University are different from Taiwan. In Kyoto, there is very wide space and not so crowded. In Taiwan, we separate different treatment in many rooms because we have a building instead of a floor. However, there is always crowded and I though a wide place will be better that the place you often see the walls. Likewise, I saw many advantaged instruments in the facility tour. However, in this aspect, I didn’t know well about research and laboratories in Taiwan, either. I can just say that students have enough resource in Kyoto University.

Expect for academic events, the culture exchange is also important. The country presentations broaden my view. The most impressive one is cultural exchange. Each country has showed their special cultural things, such as traditional dance, local event, unique clothes and so on. I very like this kind of exchange which makes me know different countries much. The sightseeing was awesome too but there were too many guests at that time. Even though, I still had a wonderful trip.

Japan study tour is beyond my expectation. I didn’t image how fantastic event is. I felt lucky that I can join this event. Besides, the homestay was also very good experience for me. I think Japan study tour is a special event. We usually take part in international conference but it is a different thing. There are more and more culture things and experience in Japan study tour. I think this kind of form is more suitable for students instead of international conference. Last but not least, thank you to all participants.
