Konnichiwa! In this opportunity allow me to introduce Indonesian Students’ Festival called “Festina” that held on the last April at Sendai Fukushi Plaza Fureai Hall. This festival aim is to introduce the diversity of Indonesian culture. Hence, we hope that cooperation and relationship among Indonesian students and Japanese also other countries would be maintained even tighter as well.
This festival’s opening ceremony was chaired by Indonesian Ambassador, Mr. Muhammad Luthfi. After that, Prof. Kimura Toshiaki from Graduate School of Arts and Letters gave some experience when he stayed in Indonesia. He described a story about “how to learn local wisdom of Indonesia's society." Not forgotten by him to mention several Indonesian cuisines that “unforgettable” for him, because of its spicy taste.
