We had fun putting this together last year. As for Japanese work ethics....yes, many people work hard over here. I think more and more people are realizing, though, that too much work isn't so healthy. Many are trying to find lifestyles that allow them to work less and relax more. All the best...

This would foster good international relations and understanding of another's culture. It was like being there in Japan and learning how it is to live there. I have a Japanese friend in Hamamatsu City and she speaks and writes English well. We don't write often though because she's so busy with work. I'm amazed at the work ethics in Japan. So rigid and so intense. By the way, I looove Japanese food! I think it was a good idea for students to interview one of their own.
