– The first thing caught in my eyes was the countryside scene of Chiba prefecture. This gave me the first impression about Japan, a mountainous but well-developed country. – At the end of the day, we had a welcome reception at Kisarazu KOSEN. We made friend with some people from the host college and other teams came from China, Mongolia and Taiwan. They were very friendly and I could feel a warm atmosphere here. – Hotel Okura was really comfortable. And the landscape around the hotel was beautiful and exciting. |

Programming Contest |
– On the second day of the contest, we lead the semi-final group with a little difficulty. However, when came to the final match, the challenge was really big. It was hard to compete with the aforementioned teams from Japan. I was really surprised about their results. But I hoped we have more time to exchange our idea with other teams. It is the fact that until now, we still do not know their algorithms and strategies. – However, our result in the final match was not bad and I felt happy finishing the contest successfully. |

– This day was really a wonderful day. The shrine was really majestic. When I went through the street, with sakura trees on both sides, I could imagine the beauty of this place in the spring. – Although only having a brief view about your capital Tokyo, I thought this city is one of the most livable city in the world. It was the fact that I’m a fan of urbanization, building and cities, and coming to Tokyo the largest metropolis in the world was really my desire in the past. |
