"Japan is a majestic country where past, present and future converge. However, its inherent complexities make it very difficult for a foreigner without much exposure to its culture, traditions and forms to understand it, and most importantly appreciate it. The MIT Sloan Japan Trip to me was that vehicle of appreciation for Japan. To have people who are capable of bridging both Japan and Western world is a unique opportunity to get a true understanding of what is going on in the second economy in the world.
For future generations of Sloanies interested in Japan and Eastern world, this should be a mandatory trip. Perhaps they won’t be as lucky as we were in terms of the organizers, but the impact this trip could have on broadening horizons and understanding the world is invaluable." |
