Hello all, Konnichiwa, bonjour ! (from Michel Of Ochakai !

The News : This coming Friday 21st of March 2008, we are starting a « Salon » that we are calling :
TOZAI BRIDGE
(the east west bridge).

What is this about ?

Once a month (we hope), we will have a gathering and explore a topic concerning East-West differences.

This week the first topic will be :

« Work in Japan vs. work in France » .

It will be introduced by our friend Pablo Prados, who is a Spaniard who studied in Tokyo and then worked in both Japan and France in big companies.

Our future topics will concern social issues, mentalities, languages, art, etc. with the East vs. West perspective, social life, education, etc.

It goes without saying (as they say) that we have no political religious or whatever other secret aim, other than to understand different cultures better, and thereby maybe to understand our own culture better.

The « format » we intend to use is:

An introduction by one of us of about 15 minutes followed by a discussion/debate.

A « moderator », will then give the floor to one person at a time.
Points of view, information, questions, discussions will then develop the matter at hand

The whole meeting will last 2 hours, from 7 : 30 to 9 : 30, at which time we will probably go out to eat or just go home or whatever ! Please be on time if you come.
During the TOZAI, there will be tea(s) and fruit juices and biscuits on a help-yourself basis (in the kitchen).

The spirit is to have fruitful, lively, interesting, discussions, as opposed to chit-chat (which is also great fun, on other occasions).

The vehicular language is English.

Who can come? Everybody, provided they have interest in this format and can understand or speak English. No deep knowledge of the East or West is required but genuine interest in these matters is obviously hoped for !

There will be a box for a 5 Euro contribution per person. Please Call for the door code.

I hope this project will interest you?and maybe some friends of yours.

Please let me know if you are coming, if you are interested, if you have ideas to propose.

Gomenasai for those who do not speak English!

A bientôt

Michel
