How did Sakura Science Plan play a role in your study / research in Japan?

Sakura Science Program gave me the excellent experiences such as laboratory practice, Japanese's life and culture during I was visiting at Kobe University. Therefore, I have already known how to live in Japan. When I came back again for research, I was familiar with the culture and life in Japan and could adapt faster than I thought.

Please describe your comments freely related to your life in Japan.

I have joined Sakura Science Program at Kobe University in 2016. During my stay, I learned about culture and life in Japan that I have never seen before. I tried delicious Japanese food. In addition, Japanese people are polite, friendly and orderly. Another person that I can never forget is my Professor. Professor Dr. Shinji Takenaka taught experienced skills in the topics of gene manipulation and protein purification. He also brought me to travel several landmarks in Japan such as the Kobe Port Tower, Himeji Castle and Akashi Bridge, and the history of sake. Finally, I would like to thank Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST), Kobe University and Professor Dr. Shinji Takenaka for giving me a good opportunity in Japan.
