During my stay, I attended Japanese language classes, participated in international students’ events, and conducted English classes for local students. I learned to speak fluent Japanese, understand the new culture, and to be independent and adaptive in a new environment.  Other than learning about their culture, I also had the chance to visit Japanese companies. It was really an eye opener to see how technology and information system plays a critical role in their daily tasks. For example, one of the most popular Japanese systems is the Just in Time (JIT) inventory system which focuses on increasing efficiency and decreasing waste.
