在清華大學端的牽線下，2016年1/6及1/7兩日，睽違一年才再度來訪的日本福島地區會津學鳳高校師生來到臺灣，與實驗中學的學生們進行交流，為原該寒冷的一月天帶來暖意，也讓校園內的科學氛圍升溫，讓雙方學生在這次的交流中滿載而歸。日本福島地區學生近年來皆固定安排實驗中學做為來臺參訪行程中重要的一站，唯去年因時程安排而作罷。今年在雙方努力之下再度成行，期待能為臺日雙方學生帶來知識與學習上的正向刺激，並促進兩校學生間的友誼發展。
第一天的行程是與會津學鳳高校的學生共同參觀國立清華大學。集合時間一到，高二5班學生及雙語部11年級的10位代表帶著興奮的心情，出發前往清大與日方學生會面。清華大學跨領域科教中心對於此次交流十分重視，規劃了豐富的行程，包含至國立清華大學旺宏館學習資源中心、腦科學中心、原子反應器中心等單位進行深度的參訪認識，且由於福島地區在2011年曾經歷核災，故特別安排原子科學技術發展中心參觀，藉此向會津學鳳高校的師生介紹清大利用原子反應器投入癌症治療的研究成果。科教中心並邀請重量級的張修明老師、葉宗洸老師進行演講，令在場學生大開眼界。
第二天一早，會津學鳳高校師生蒞臨實驗中學，進行半天的蒞校訪問行程。在高二5班的迎賓表演及會津學鳳高校學生振奮精神的傳統舞蹈之後，原先略顯尷尬的氣氛逐漸被炒熱，大家也做好入班上課的準備了！日方學生分組至高二5班及雙語部10、11年級，而實驗中學的學生們則擔起主人的身分，協助日方學生融入班級、了解課堂上的內容及活動。課程結束後，雙方進行研究報告發表。會津學鳳高校學生除了介紹自己的學校之外，也將福島地區經歷311地震後浴火重生的現況呈現在眾人眼前；科學班的學生將這一年來與清大合作的研究成果，進行生物科、化學科及數學科專題報告；雙語部學生則將課堂的科學報告進行說明，將近兩個小時的研究發表，臺日雙方學生的求知慾得以大大滿足。雖然與日方學生互動的時間不長，但雙方學生透由此次機會學習到新的知識及資訊，並且認識了新朋友、瞭解對方的文化與生活，為此次的交流活動劃下精彩的句點。
The overall program was fairly
satisfactory, since it provided numerous opportunities for NEHS
and IBSH students to interact with Aizu Gakuhou High School
students. In addition, the nuclear reactor tour and the
Drosophila brain cell research presentation in Tsing-Hua was
intriguing.
I learned of the cultural
differences between Taiwan and Japan. Although communication was
challenging, we were able to converse without any major
problems. Adding on to that, some of the female students exuded
an alluring and enticing aura, while the male students were
fairly interactive as well. This catalysed to the bonding
between the IBSH students and the Fukushima students. Being able
to take pictures with the adorable and Kawaii schoolgirl excited
the male students.
Despite the overwhelming positivity
within the program, there are still some flaws present. The food
provided was generic and could be improved by offering unique
and locally-oriented food. In addition, the NEHS students could
reciprocate during the cultural exchange by introducing the
specialties of Taiwan.

I feel that the program was overall
successful. However, I feel that we should be given more time to
interact with the students from Fukushima. Besides that, I can
say that I have learnt many things from this program, especially
from the trip to National Tsing Hua University. I like how the
University experimented on fruit flies in order to examine a
simpler brain cell with the superior technology within the
Universities in Taiwan. Another thing I found meaningful was
when the students come to have classes with us. I am honored to
be the translator for them in class when they could not
understand what the teacher is asking. Also, it made our
students learn about the devastating results of the 311
earthquake. After this program, I observed that Japanese
students are more shy compared to the students in Taiwan.
However, I feel that the students are interesting and have a
different perspective in looking and thinking about things. The
more I talk to them, the more I want to know about them. One guy
I met was really interesting and unlike all the others, he was
more active in interacting with us. His name is Hayato Ogura, he
is in the baseball team in his school. He is really devoted to
baseball that he decided to shave all his hair and broke up with
his girlfriend. In all, this awesome experience would really be
a nice memory to me.

這次難得有國外的學生前來參訪交流，從交流的過程中得到了許多經驗和收穫。首先是第一天的演講活動，雖然我並沒有很認真的聆聽教授的演講內容，不過教授使用英語解說和簡化內容的技巧令我相當佩服，也提醒自己的的英語表達能力尚有進步的空間。而這兩天最大的收獲肯定就是學習如何和日本同學溝通了吧!使用自己有限的詞彙讓詞彙量更有限的日本同學了解活動的內容。第一天午餐，我和欣哲花了老半天解釋什麼是「餛飩」，結果老闆拿出英文版菜單，才發現原來餛飩就叫wonton，真是令人欲哭無淚。第二天上課交流，幾乎是一對一的在和日本同學溝通，原本還很擔心會開天窗，但幸好他們最後都有了解我說的內容。
去年我原本有報名學校主辦的日本教育旅行，但後來因為要去斯里蘭卡比賽，只得忍痛放棄原本的計畫，而這次福島高校前來參訪，也算是稍稍的撫慰了我遺憾的心情。我覺得日本同學相當值得我們學習的一點是「態度」，無論是在表演、交流或是在報告的時候，都可以看到他們的努力，即便他們的英文能力比不上我們，但他們仍然很努力的與我們溝通、講解他們的ppt，即便他們可能並不擅長於表演，但他們仍然努力的完成表演。也許經歷過福島核災，真的有讓他們變得更成熟、更努力。而回想自己，也許歷練還不夠多，但也會期許自己變得更加的成熟、穩重，變成一個更好的人。

期待中的這一天終於來臨，大家鬧哄哄的到了清大，戒慎恐懼的步入喜歡大量購買科學玩具的戴明鳳教授的實驗室中，終於見到了朝思暮想的日本交流學生。在吃午飯的時候，我鐵了膽去向日本學生們介紹可以吃些什麼以及聊了一些日本與台灣的文化。在餐桌上，我見識到了日本人原來真的會用雙手合十夾起筷子說：我開動了。另外，福島高校的學生在端了午餐後似乎還猶豫者該不該舉箸，是否應該等等全員到齊在開動，比起身在步調急促的台灣的我們狼吞虎嚥，這種禮節文化的差異，帶給我們很大的震撼。文化的交流是十分可貴的。
隔天日本學生來到實驗中學，科學班的四位音樂才子先用無敵古典融合搖滾神技的表演迷倒了在場的全部觀眾，而福島高校則表演了一段令人目不轉睛、充滿活力的傳統舞蹈。當時身為主持人與致詞人的我站在講台邊看著大家的反應，每一個人都異常投入，我意識到了這次的活動竟然還賦予了我們用音樂與藝術交流的機會，真是非常難得。與我們一同上課，過程十分輕鬆有趣。在做化學實驗的時，我們與福島高校學生互相討論了台灣與日本的課程差異，並同心協力完成了羅敷（Cooker）的黃金雨實驗。在這過程中，雖然溝通還是有些吃力，但是我們寫了化學反應式後，可以看得出日本同學已經發常瞭解了。同時，她也對實驗器材的操作非常熟練，讓我深刻體會到，科學真的是無遠弗屆的，是最好的溝通語言。接下來的午餐時間，科學班、福島高校與雙語部分別對自己努力很久的專題進行發表，讓我們大開眼界。福島高校特別介紹了現在福島的現況與重建情形，我們經由地震見證者的直接分享進行瞭解，比起看新聞顯得真實多了。
在短短兩天內，我歷經了文化、音樂、科學的交流，內容充實且可貴。或許我們這一生就相處這兩天，但緣份讓我們能夠聚在一起互相分享、互相交流，共度美好時光，這次的交流活動無疑是令人難忘的！

The program helped me to think
about future of living things. So I got interested in reviving
extinct species by the program. I could develop logical thinking
through the debate. Experiment is so interesting. Thanks to
Taiwanese friend’s explanation, I could understand principle of
the experiment. Through the program, I
found my English skill is low. I was encouraged to study English
hard. I could enjoy speaking with Taiwanese friends. I had a
great time in the program.
Natsume （Fukushima）
Chemistry program is very
interesting. I want to do “golden rain” again! I’m glad to do
interaction between us and Taiwanese friends. We can’t speak and
listen to English very well, but Taiwanese friends are very kind
to talk with us. Thanks to them, our training is very good. If I
had a chance, I want to take a class with Japanese friends and
Taiwanese friends in English.
Ogura Hayato（Fukushima）
I enjoyed debating in English
class. Although it was difficult for me to debate in English, I
tried to express my ideas. Taiwanese students spoke English
fluently. I was very surprised. I really enjoyed visiting
National Experimental High school in Taiwan because I made a lot
of friends. I learned the importance of English.
