Final Report (Date of submission: 25/10/2014 )

Tokyo, October 25th 2014.
This is my last day to enjoy Tokyo during TMDU dental training program 2014. Ive been in Tokyo 2 weeks
and it will be over soon. In this report, I would like to tell and describe about what Ive got during my journey
in Japan. The content will be starting by experience that I got inside the campus and outside the campus.
Experiencing Japan Inside Campus Life
The main aim of this program is to make a good collaboration between student in Japan and South East Asia, so
that the program was not all about happiness but also concerning about how to accelerate knowledge and skill
by each person and sharing the difference between countries. In almost 2 weeks of staying in Japan, and almost
attending 8 days of school day, Ive done so many activities. Those activity mostly I got from Tokyo Medical
and Dental University. Those are activities that Ive done.
Day 1 :Opening ceremony and lectures about living in Japan, Japanese language, and risk management
Day 2: Visiting Oral Pathology Department
Day 3 :Visiting pediatric dentistry & cariology and operative dentistry clinic
Day 4: Visiting Japan dental company and research day
Day 5: Wax carving and wire bending competition
Day 5: Visiting Anesthesiology and clinical physiology & Periodontology clinic
Day 6: Visiting Dentistry for diasbility person & maxillofacial surgery clinic
Day 7: Visiting Sports medicine/detistry and oral implantology clinic
Day 8 : IT simulation, International symposium and cultural performances
I really blessed with all experience that Ive got from TMDU. TMDU is a very great univesity, I bring a lot of
knowledge, skill, and even inspiration from this univesity to be applied in Indonesia. I also being motivate to
be more serious in study.
Experiencing Japan Outside Campus Life
In this program, were just not stick on campus activity. We also have many free time especially after school
(upper 4 pm) and weekend. We use our time to enjoy around Tokyo and trying the cultural experience of Japan.
I and all of my friends and Sensei had visited many places in Japan during this 2 weeks. We had gone to tokyo
station, akihabara, tokyo tower, odaiba, asakusa temple, tokyo skytree, meiji temple, shibuya, harajuku,
okacimachi, yokohama and many places. And I really love the feeling! Japan is amazing. Were also taste the
experience of Japanese Cuisines, such as okonomiyaki, takoyaki, castella, dorayaki, udon, chicken chizu katsu,
and many others and I also love some of Japanese food Oishi. Not only tourism destination and cuisines. I was
also very impressed with Japanese character that they are very dicipline, olderly, humble, and well managed. I
was also impressed with the development and usage of technology also the public transportation. I hope
Indonesian will be like this someday
In the end, I would like to say thanks to Japan Government that had gave me this great opportunity through
scholarship in this program. I hope that this program will be long lasting and will exist 5 years, 10 years, or
even 100 years later. For the last, Thank you JAPAN!
