The other day we held a meeting with five foreigners living in Hokkaido.Sali Atanga is one of our guest speakers ,who is at final year of Doctorate degree in Agriculture in Hokkaido University.
He came from Cameroon with his wife Stella and
is living in Sapporo.He is 35 years old and an Agricultural Reserch Scientist working for the Cameroon Government.
The driving force behind their motive for visiting Japan is to understand why Japan is committed to produce durable goods.They finally found out
the answer.That is Japanese desire to do everythig to the best of their ability in order to satisfy the end-user.
There are two critical reasons why they decided to come to Japan.
First, the health care service is reasonable and satisfactory as compared with most developed countries.
Secondly,they have a low degree of crime rate,especially haterelated crimes are relatively low.
He is critical of the mass media because they look at only negative side of things.His experience in Israel comfirmed his idea.For example,most Camerooians believe that earthquakes occur on a daily basis in Japan since they rely solenly on the media. It is also the same in Japan.The media lured Japanese to believe that Africa is poverty ,desease and wars or that Israel is only about wars. The both are not true as they are all isolated cases and you should'nt judge the entirety.
What he admires about Japanese culture are the act of taking-off one's shoes before entering a house and ''the first come first serve'' phenomenon.
