看見遊覽車緩緩駛進校園，我的心裡泛起了一絲絲興奮，期待已久的日校交流終於要開始了。
這次的接待在雙方互贈禮物和我們介紹學校的報告下揭開序幕，接著便是由日方學生分享他
們所做的研究，而這也是讓我十分驚豔的部分。透過一張又一張的海報，還有全英文的仔細講解，
我們得知了各組的研究內容，從納豆菌是否可以保留土壤中水分、江戶時代和平安時代的文化差異
⋯⋯一直到一般日本高校生的作息和潮流介紹，儘管種類五花八門，卻都能從他們手中資料上密密
麻麻的筆記看出一點——他們是很用心的看待這次報告，而經過這樣第一次的交流，兩邊學生也開
始有了最初步的認識。
很快的來到下午，我們依照分組開始製作雙翼竹蜻蜓，剛開始的時候，氣氛還有些尷尬，但
隨著製作步驟的推進，我們在互相幫助下漸漸將竹蜻蜓完成，過程中也出現了不少歡笑，甚至在經
過多次改良，竹蜻蜓終於成功飛上天時，所有人都發自內心地歡呼了出來，然後不約而同的相視一
笑。活動的最後，我們和日本學生玩了場鬼抓人，大家在草地上邊笑邊奔跑，那一刻，超越語言的
隔閡，我們就像是一群朋友，互相嬉戲玩鬧著，結束了這充實的一天。
隔天，我們和日本學生分成生物組和化學組，分別從事不同的活動。身為生物組的我們，跟著
老師來到靜心湖附近賞鳥，在完成紀錄之餘，我們也和同組的日本學生聊了不少天，與彼此分享發
生過的趣事，儘管英文不甚流利，配合著比手畫腳及肢體語言，我們仍然能進行對話，並對彼此有
了更多的了解。
時間過得飛快，一天半的接待活動一下子就結束了，在遊覽車前，我們依依不捨的道別，並且
在車子駛走時朝著他們大力揮手，直到他們消失在視線中。這次的交流，對我來說是一次新奇的體
驗，第一次和不同國家的學生共同完成這麼多事情，留下了很多美好的回憶！

It is my utmost honor to be the host of these marvelous Japanese students. Through these two days of
conversation and exchanging social media networks (which I got the score of a big fat zero), I have learned
to appreciate Japanese culture, politeness, and ingenuity.
We started of with our performance, which was both awkward and boring. I am indeed proud to say that
I had no idea whatsoever of what I was doing. Then after the awkward group photoshoot, and the awkward
opening ceremony. It was their turn to present us with their scientific presentations. I was particularly
impressed by an experiment involving growing a type of winemaking germ called Kojikabi in an excess
gravitational environment. The experiment setup blew me away, their way of setting up a excess gravitational
environment is by growing the germ in a centrifuge, allowing the centrifugal force to balance with gravity,
creating a environment like that of space in close orbit of earth.
Then while trying to make the placopter with the Japanese students, Even though there was little
conversation, I was amazed with their intellect, however also recognizes their inferiority in thinking out of
the box. For example: When our placopter didn’t fly properly, their solution was mainly just to perfect the
original solution, such as cutting the straw in a straight line reducing friction, or cutting the placoter blades
in a different way making it less likely to break. However, my solution is to change the design in a way that
could make use of all the lift the placopter blades can give, while changing the material creating a longer
placopter blade.
All and all, I think that the experience was very helpful, allowing me the chance to understand Japan and
its people, in turn know where are strengths are and where to improve.
