International Exchange

Our school sent five students to Vietnam from December 16 to 21 in order to encourage scientific and friendship exchanges. They visited Nguyen Sieu High School, Hanoi University of Science and Technology, a village in Hoa Binh, the construction site of a bridge over the Hong River and several other places.

At Nguyen Sieu High School, Chairman Nguyen Trong Vinh and our Principal Morimoto signed a friendship agreement which promises everlasting friendly exchanges between the two schools.

At the construction site of a big suspension bridge over the Hong River, students were allowed to go up the pier, where they received explanations about the bridge. The bridge is being built by a Japanese construction company, Kajima Kensetsu.

At Hanoi University of Science and Technology, students had lectures about water purification in Vietnam and Agent Orange which was used during the Vietnam War.

At a village in Hoa Binh, students walked around the village with young local people looking for plants that are medically useful and so on. They also had a meal in a wooden building whose floor is elevated by pillars.

Students also had valuable experiences trying to communicate with the local youth without the help of any language.
