Issue 14 - Friday, 20th October 2000
The new intake from October is slowly settling into life in Japan it seems. Today in Aoi Hall was a party for new students and free lunch. Most of the local universities sent representatives to meet students and offer advice about studies in Japan. Since the number of children is falling, most universities are turning to foreign students to fill the shortfall in numbers. This means that it is easier for students to find places...but it is still just as difficult to get into the best universities. For more information, check the free databases of universities that accept foreign students and the scholarships database. There is also a new one containing information about internships in Japan - this is still growing. If you find any information missing, or there is anything that needs updating, please let me know.

http://www.yamasa.org/access/indexe.htmlA brief humorous look at rubbish in Japan. Rubbish, humorous? you might ask if you haven't seen the recycling system. Guaranteed to be unworkable, bound to reduce recycling and make environmental policies seem unattractive, the latest laws will increase the amount of plastic burnt in Japan by several times. After it has been neatly separated into different types, of course.
This week's victim: an interview with a Stephanie Weng from Taiwan, who is an intern in the International Office. No, it doesn't really mean that I ran out of time again and there was no one else in range.
