Some Have Gone and Others Have Come

In Japan, generally speaking, it's absolutely neither the season for cherry blossoms, nor the one for sayonara and hajimemasite.But... here is a bit different story.
Oyunaa san left for Tokyo today.

She finished her study here and she looked like she achieved something in Japan for two years and is ready to go home now.
That is why I had some mixed feeling with some sadness and happiness for her future.
We promised that some of us may go to her country for some reserach in the future.
I strongly wish her good luck for her success there.

Also, we have received new comers in our lab, Matsuyama san, Watanabe san, and Kousaka san.
They brought some kind of fresh wind from outside and I do hope our lab mates will have stronger interaction with one another.

Another news, a Zambian gentleman from University of Zambia has come to learn as student here, which really made me excited.
I expect that I would be able to learn many things from him.


I reckon this season in IDEC is really the season for cherry blossom.
