Lost in Translation at JAIST

Foreign Exchange visit vo the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST) in August 05. One typical day. The language barrier was impossible to over come and I was very lonely.

@pumpfever It was a brief two-month visit during my PhD

that's nice! I can hear the guy speaking spanish, was he telling you what the menu included? He said: "fritura, cerdo, croqueta, hamburguesa", but I couldn't really recognize his accent, it sounded like spanish accent. Was he from Spain? I'm from Chihuahua, though... by the way, your other videos about your new prosthesis are really cool, it's incredible how far the technology has gone! Congrats for your iLimb!

[myowelt]

An experience to say the least. :-) I guess it really depends on what you make of it. As I said, the language barrier is very hard to overcome.
