- Forum : 49th batch (2012 Autumn Forum)
Warm greetings from Vietnam to you all! I assume that I am the last person who has been selected to the 49th IATSS Forum. I still remember that day of July, when I received a phone call from the secretariat in Vietnam, to inform me the greatest news I have ever heard, I was surprised and felt happy extremely. I could not image a day I would come to Japan and participate in the Forum this year but my dream really came true. The IATSS Forum is truly opportunity for me to expand my international network, gain experience and learn from other participants over ASEAN about their communication skills and their professional skills and I would like to establish friendship with them. It also gives me a chance to discover Japan; people, culture and history of the must-go country of my wish list. I believe we will reach the target of the IATSS Forum as its premise “Learning and thinking together”. Let’s countdown to the first day of the period of 55 days to Japan! I look forward to see you all in Suzuka and I think that all of us will have the unforgettable memories in here. I would like to give big thanks to the ITASS Forum organizers and staffs for bringing us the opportunity and your preparation for our journey. どうもありがとうございました!
Hello to the 50th IATSS Forum participants (“50” is a very nice number), so I hope that you will have a nice journey in Japan. Time passes really fast, it has been almost one year since we, the 49th IATSS Forum participants, first met each other at the Nagoya airport. I must say that it was the greatest opportunity I have ever had, it brought to me, not only knowledge and experience, but also unforgettable memories. I still remember the days that we learned, played, ate and slept together, oh my, and took pictures all the time! My fellow participants were really wonderful people and I learnt a lot from them. I leant how to work, how to discuss and how to listen to people because we have different characters, habits and points of view. The IATSS Forum brought me a chance to challenge myself; I became more confident, more active and now know how to express and share my ideas (before I was really bad in this regard). I think you will have the same thoughts when you come to Japan and enjoy 55 days there.
Every single day in Japan was great for me and I really enjoyed! Suzuka, Kyoto, Tokyo, Nagoya, Nara, Fuji Mountain, the Shinkasen, the food, kimonos, the F1 race, my homestay experience, momiji (red leaves), the culture exchange day, dance, the friendly local people and the very nice IATSS forum staff…. I will never forget this experience.
So, don’t be afraid, open your heart and you will see!
