JAPAN - Four Delegates!





Konnichi wa!

Yuichi, Yoshiyuki, Mitsuo and Hiroshi are the four Japanese delegates at the Youth Forum.

These four young men are highly skilled high-tech machinery, but have trouble communicating in English. They'll have a translator in Melbourne, but we can pass on any messages for them in the lead-up.

If you'd like to know more about living in Japan, our working for large mulit-national corporations like Hitachi, Denso and Toyota add your comment - we'd love to hear from you.

Hi, my name is Hiroshi Nakata, 24 years old (a picture at bottom, right).

I am living at Shizuoka Prefecture where is located Mt. Fuji, That is very famous and also we proud of this mountain. My home is near the place of 39th World Skills Competition at 2007. However, it takes almost an hour by my lovely old jalopy.

My job is Skill training instructor at Hitachi Group.
All members are under 21 years old, that is good atmosphere but my mental age never grow up because of them. Anyway, they are very fun and give me a good young influence.

About myself, I am sort of big guy as I compare the average Japanese, 185cm tall and weight about 91kg, people say I am like bear. And I have a very big and warm heart!!

My country, Japan is very nice place, Please feel free to contact me any time!

G'day Yuichi, Yoshiyuki, Mitsuo and Hiroshi!!

I look forward to meeting you all very soon at the conference. I used to work at a place with many young Japanese customers, they were always very happy and very friendly and certainly knew how to have fun!
I can't wait to go there for myself one day, perhaps 2007!?!?
I would like to learn more about Japan and Japanese culture. Perhaps you can each tell me one interesting thing about Japan by posting on the blog.

Arigato men,

Nick

Hi Nick,
thanks for your comment. Why won't you come to Japan in 2007? Now we've got another message as below:

Yoshiyuiki (at top left) is a 22-year-old engineer who works for HITACHI. After he finished training for the WWC in Helsinki, he has been enjoying his free time snowbording and listening to Reggae and Hip Hop music.
