Sony (Media World) (14F 4-10-18 Takanawa, Minato-ku, Tokyo)
We visited one of several buildings which are part of the company's headquarters in
the Shinagawa area. After a meeting with on of the heads of the Corporate Communication
Dept., we went to a facility called Media World. The place looks like a well-designed
museum where you can experience Sony's state-of-the-art technology for the
broadband era. We had really a fun time as well as learned their technology.
We were also impressed very much by their excellent human recourses and
marketing techniques.
This was taken with Sony's new product and emailed to us on the spot!

The university is one of many Jesuit Universities located through the world.
Several USF students attend as exchange students. We visited the school to meet
one of the exchange students, Janice Nguyen.
We had a lunch in the school cafeteria and explored Asakusa and Akihabara
area with her and her Japanese friends.
