My Farewell to Ashraf & Hazem

 Because I have a conference this week out of our univ, today was the last day to meet our Egyptian friends Ashraf & Hazem while their stay in Japan. They came to our lab in mid-March and worked for 6 months with us.



 I greatly appreciate the friendship of them and our students, our power of luck, and the power of love of ourselves.

 And what I wanted to tell them is not only scientific knowledge and techniques, but also some "tricks" how to make and organize ideas of themselves and how to express them well.

 Today was the "last" day, but nothing finished today. I believe our friendships with educators and young scientists, by crossing culture gaps, are adding richness to our future life.

 文化の違いを越えて、共に多くのチャレンジをしてくれたエジプトからの2人と、研究室のすべての学生たちに敬意を表します。
