Last lecture, Tokyo tower and party time!

Our second last day in Japan....one last lecture on JICA programs on Disabilities and JOCV (Japanese Overseas Cooperation Volunteers)
ah.....can't remember his name... this guy is from JICA headquarters, telling us about JICA programs
Keiko....nakal yeah? Taking me taking her picture.
Oto san working in JOCV...telling us about the JOCV program and how to apply for JOCV if we need their services.
Keiko.....can't wait to get rid of Kiran & us!
Last discussion on the meaning of "Decent Work". This is what we came out with after 6 weeks of studying on decent employment for PWDs.
What is Decent Work?
  • Own choices-PWDs gets to choose their own career
  • Recognition & Appreciated
  • Equality in wages, gender, opportunity
  • Dignity
  • Security – financial & social
  • Humanity
  • Responsibility
  • Interdependent
  • Personal development
  • Accessibility environment
  • Socialization – to be in an inclusive society

Had some time after our discussion so Nerand and I went of to Shinjuku to do some last minute shopping and then head off to Tokyo Tower.
820 yen to go up to the middle part. We stayed for 2 hours there so we can catch the night view too. Was worth the wait. Still remembered the first day I met Nerand. Talked to him on the street without knowing that we were in the same course.
Tokyo Tower
My last "Sukiya" meal. Beef & Eel bowl with Miso soup and tofu. 950 yen. Cheap compare to KL price.
The Sukiya shop near TIC. Been having my dinners there for the last few days since I'm sick of the food at TIC. Easy to order.... go in sit at the counter, point out what you want at the menu and just nod your head! hahahaha Most of the staff there understands a bit of english.....
Second last day so we have a "mini" party at Kiran's room....His room is big for the wheelchair users so usually we hang out there. Bought our laptops there and exchange our photos and of course drinking beer. Japanese beers are cheap and nice!

My brothers for the past 7 weeks! Going to miss you guys! Kampai!

    Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than
    just your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and everything.
    Nevertheless think of if you added some great graphics or video clips
    to give your posts more, "pop"! Your content is excellent but with pics and video
    clips, this site could certainly be one of the most beneficial in
    its niche. Superb blog!
