Hi Blog. Quick update on what’s going on.<\/p>\n
Had a great speech last night regarding the BLACKLIST OF JAPANESE UNIVERSITIES<\/a>at Tokyo University. Attended by several universities (Todai, Hitotsubashidai, Tohokudai, Nagoya, Aizu, some of whom wanted to know why they had been Blacklisted), and some educational institutions. Even the Ministry of Education was to show (informally–that spooked me; I was told to put my Powerpoint presentation in English, but as soon as I heard the MOE would attend, I put it all into Japanese. Wanted it to be taken seriously, after all.) You can download the Powerpoints here:<\/p>\n ENGLISH Anyway, I’ve extended my Tokyo trip one more day. A friend who is doing research on homeless in Japan and the US has invited me to spend a day in Sanya, where the unfortunates in society lead hand-to-mouth existences. Should be an eye-opener. <\/p>\n I’ll have my thoughts on the election (yes, Abe proved me wrong–the gall!! \ud83d\ude42 ) after I get home to Sapporo tomorrow. Have to get to work on another Japan Times article next week as well. Hope you enjoyed hearing my voice on the podcasts!<\/p>\n Arudou Debito \n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Quick update on what’s going on: Still in Tokyo, extending one more day.
