At the Restaurant in Holiday Inn Yokohama

After professor Anna's lecture finished, we went to Chinese restaurant in Yokohama Holiday Inn. This is our professor Mochizuki's favorite restaurant. The atomosphere was good, the food also good, perfect!!
By the way, we are really sorry that we were late because we get the wrong station.

At the restaurant in Landmark Tower with Interviewing 3 Questions

professer Steven and Anna Thank you for your comming last sturday we enjoyed this trip in Yokohama. I'd like you to white down your impresson of this trip, so I'll ask some question. Could you answer it please?

[Question]
What do you think about this trip?

[Answer]
This was a wonderful trip! We sincerely thank Professor Mochizuki and the students in his seminar for showing us such a great time in Yokohama. Yokohama is a truly wonderful city, and we were very happy to visit it. Professor Mochizuki planned an excellent tour and was extremely kind to show us around. We will never forget the trip.

[Q]
where do you think the most impressible place? and why?

[A]
Actually the whole day left a strong impression with us. But we should mention the doll museum. We have never seen a museum quite like it - some of the dolls were unique, and made us appreciate just how beautiful dolls can be. It was very interesting to see how dolls could bridge the gap between people - we especially recall the dolls that were exchanged between Japan and the US.
Going to the top of Japan's tallest building and viewing Yokohama at night was a real thrill. Yokohama is just so beautiful at night (and we've never seen such a clever monkey)! We think that if we ever settle in Japan, then Yokohama will be the place that we will choose.

[Q]
what do you think of Hiroshi Mochizuki Laboratory International's atomosphere?

[A]
Professor Mochizuki's class is exceptional - friendly, intelligent, warm and generous. Being involved with Professor Mochizuki and his wonderful students brings us much happiness. We have never experienced such hospitality and kindness from students - we had to wait until we came to Japan to see how friendly and warm students can be. We wish that all our New Zealand students could be like Professor Mochizuki's!

A Description of our Impressoins

Manita Osamu Professor Steven, Anna and Serena, thank you for going together in Yokohama. I was very fun. The most impressive situation is "doll museum". I saw such big Japanese doll at the first time. So it has many foreign dolls. Because I can't see them, this trip is very rare experience. When we went to China restraint, he talked us about New Zealand's student. Because we rarely listen to it, I was very interesting. I don't speak English well. So this trip was good opportunity to train English. It is very good. @
Yuko Shibuya Personally I often go to see a visiting professor, because I have not studied abroad in my college life yet. So this sightseeing was excellent for me to talk in English with Mr. and Mrs. Steven and their dear daughter Serena, especially lunchtime chat and a night view seeing. During having a lunch, we talked about students in New Zealand, for example how big the class is, a story of their students and studentsf life in Waikato University and so on. In night view from the tower was very beautiful and unexpectedly we saw a monkey show and all of us enjoyed so much. Letfs go many places hereafter™
Nao Miyazawa It is has been 4 years since I got into international seminar. Each time we sat in at a lot of lectures, we hold party invited visiting professors. But a trip was first experiment for us. Though I couldnft talk at party before because of formal occasion, this time I can enjoy talking. Maybe it is by the grace of sociable atmosphere. Moreover I think conversation chance was increased because I returned to Noborito from Sakuragi-cho with professor Steven and Anna. I hope we will community from now onward. And international seminar will become more internationalization!!
Eiji Ishii

It really was a precious time to go trip with professor Steven and Anna, and Serena. We all are glad you to enjoy that trip. Maybe serena was sleepy because we stayed at Yokohama till over 8 o'clock.
The most impressive situation is that professor steven really like the dolls that is very real and almost ready to act. I am sorry that I said "you are a little bit strange" at Doll Museum.
All of us hope to keep in touch with you three. It was a wonderful trip because we get to know each other more and more!!
