Can Tho was nice, and the examinee was friendly
Had the exam here. The examinee had to take an english exam, an essay, and a interview. I think he did ok. Anyways, we are catching the red eye flight back to Fukuoka after filling up on pho.

Now in Can Tho, Vietnam to administer an exam
In Can Tho to help administer an exam for our 5year PhD program with Prof. Sakakura. Was expecting two examinees, but one got poached by a different university. Oh well. It would have been a free ride with a stipend. Too bad. Had pigeon and gobi (a local fish) for dinner. Not bad.
This years Naha, Iriomote, Ishigaki Trip
Unlike last year, there's no typhoon this year. But the weather is not good. Clouds and rain is the forecast for Iriomote. We finally arrived near Amami Oshima, and so I attached a bad photo. The going from Nagasaki was a bit rough, but its been smooth the last few hours.
Jellyfish got me
It's called Gonionemus vertens or カギノテクラゲ. This little guy decided that my wrist was a great place to take a break. It was just itchy at first, but that was 6 hours ago. Now I have muscle and joint pain, throughout my body. Lot's of fun.
Field lab
Today is the second day of our field lab for the third year students. Usually, it's held on Tuesday, but we were rained out. So, we had to use our backup day. There is one more field lab, then it's two days In the PC lab, to do some stats with R. We get them to throw around a quadrat about 40 times or so, to get counts of sea urchins and starfish and coverage estimates of seagrass and sargassum. The students seem to enjoy the field portion od the lab... Not too sure about R though.
