 Each location is explained and linked
to one of this page's pictures. This file still has to be completed. (In
French, so far. I'd need some help to translate it in english) |

Most of these pictures have been taken during a secondary
school teachers' study trip in Japan, in november, 2005.
We are all very grateful to the Japan Foundation, the Japan ministery of education,
the local education authorities which organized this trip, made us discover
their beautiful country, and gave us the opportunity to meet the Japanese people,
this last point being probably the best part of this outstanding experience.
The "cherry on the cake"
(as we say in France) has been the opportunity to meet other educators from
17 very different countries, all devoted to the same passion : teaching. Thanks
to the internet, many of us are staying in touch.
The pictures have been downsized (to 1024x768 pixels).
It's already OK to see them on your PC screen or to use them in Open-Office
or Microsoft presentations (Word, Publisher, Powerpoint...). Just point the
mouse on the picture and open the picture in a new window, you can download
it on your PC with your mice's right button.
If you want the full high rez for some, just ask me and I'll send them by mail
(just check your mail box accepts files as big as 2 Mo).
This page has been built during the last year.
I'm happy to see how many visits I have. It was meant to be a link between us,
and it's fine if it works.
This webpage has a "light
version" (without the teams A, B, C personal pictures) which is visited
by an increasing number of persons (around 50 every days !) from all over the
world who found it through their search engines. I'm happy we can share these
pictures from our trip with them.
I hope everybody have a big time watching them.
I miss every member of this extraordinay trip,
and all our fabulous japanese hosts. I hope I'll have the pleasure to meet them
again, perhaps in France ?
Special thanks for their pictures and advices to Adrian, Ai, Alessandro, Cathy, Françoise, Geza, Haruko, Igor, Katherine, Laurent, Lidija, Odo, Steve
