With the economic and cultural ties between Japan and the UAE reaching an all-time high, Hisashi Michigami, the Consul General (CG) of Japan in Dubai is on a mission to further enhance ties between the two countries.
"My mission here is to make Japan fully known to the UAE, and at the same time, let the UAE be known in Japan in all fields especially business, culture, education and tourism," Michigami told Khaleej Times.
Tourism from the UAE to Japan has picked up in a major way. The CG says, "There is a big increase in tourists from the UAE. More than 10,000 tourists (UAE nationals as well as residents) visited Japan during 2015. The number has doubled in two years and tripled in the last four years."
In Japan, parents tell children, "Do not be defeated" rather than saying, "Beat somebody". It is not important to win or beat rivals. It is very important to overcome a difficult situation, or to overcome oneself. This is our traditional thinking, which is a bit different from the West. |
Longevity in Japan (average life span of men is 81 and women 87) is primarily because of three reasons: national insurance policy (everyone can have the same medical care), school system (emphasis on exercise and self-discipline from an early age), and mutual support in the community (urban and rural areas people stand for each other in the society). |
