~What I learned from Turkey and my 40 years of living in Istanbul~
Date and time: Sunday, November 12, 2023 from 1:30pm to 3:00pm
Venue: Conference room 5, Aoba Ward Resident Exchange Center
Guest speaker: Shoshi Mariko Erdoğan
National Boasiti University's first Japanese lecturer, 40 years living in Türkiye
The many stories rooted in daily life by Mariko Erdogan, who has lived in Turkey for 40 years, are very interesting, and the explanations that show tea utensils, accessories, perfumes, amulets, etc. that are used in real life have a sense of realism. The 33 participants (including staff) listened intently.
At the Q&A corner after the lecture, a large number of questions were asked in quick succession, demonstrating her high level of interest, and Ms. Shoshi answered each question carefully, one by one. The lecture was very popular, with most attendees saying it was ``very good'' in a survey.
