Day 2 over. Very late now in Japan--11pm now. Today is the first day of conference, and it was quite interesting, though tiring. Feel quite drained at the moment, do not wish to write much for now. I will further update this post tomorrow when I am back earlier from the conference.
Basically, today, after having lunch at the Keio University dining hall (which served food that was of quality standards), we attended the opening ceremony, which was basically a keynote talk by the sort of Guest of Honour. He explored on the topic of how fingerprints help us in our daily lives rather than the common conception many people have and the definition in dictionaries.
Afterwhich, the talks were about Food Entertainment. The talks were extremely interesting, yes, with live demonstrations of how to make "fake" food. We often see fake food both in Japan and in Singapore. fake food is basically food made of inedible materials, yet looks exactly like the real edible food. The professor did a 1 hour long live demonstration on how to make "fake" food which was immensely entertaining and interesting. He used paraffin to mould and colour the "food".
Dinner was great on the cruise "Marine Shuttle". The conference organisers booked the whole ship and we set off from the Yokohama Bay. Dinner was good in buffet style, with quite a lot of variety of food and drinks. The view was astounding fro mthe Yokohama Bay and the river too.
Tired day...so will rest for the moment. Will be back tomorrow with more about today! :)
