Lecturing Out 2009

Hello to Mangrove Officers!
Like previous years, MTEC is presenting lectures to the participants of "Conservation and Sustainable Management of mangrove Ecosystems" Course.

Well, I doubt the session without practical presentation exercise is really effective for them, all I can do is to try to find the way.
I hope the participants understood "KISS - Keep It Short and Simle" and "6 x 6 Rule" to apply to their next presentation.
Good luck!

156. Hello again, Mr. Matayoshi!

Digital video course 2007 had a special lecture on "Clay Animation". Like last year, the group went to Okinawa Pref. University of Art near Shurijo Castle.

Our pleasure was to meet Mr. Hiroshi Matayoshi again as the lecuturer.

30. A Special Knowledge Gained in a Japanese Office

Soon after I (mtec-hq) started working in previous organization 20 years ago, I noticed that I had gained a special knowledge. It was about "Souvenir Confectioneries of the Region". Sales reps, computer engineers kept traveling for meetings. Most of the time they bring souvenir to the partner, usually confectionery of the region. My working team in Tokyo had patners in Hokkaido, Nagoya, Fukuoka, and Kumamoto, so I really got knowledgeable about the confectioneries of these areas.

Now, in MTEC, I still observe the same custom. I wonder the overseas offices share the same custom? This article features Chili snack from Ishigaki Island(picture above), some others from Sendai and Tokyo(picture on the right).
