After working as an international flight attendant at Japan Airlines, I engaged in the projects for promoting economic relations between EU and Japan at EU-Japan Centre for Industrial Cooperation which is conducted by the governments of EU and Japan. I was in charge of the international conference as a secretariat and also the internship programme for university students of EU and Japan as Programme Manager. While working, organized tea ceremony for VIPs, businessmen and students from overseas.
It is very important for us to pay attention to Sensei and Sensei is very humble, willing to answer every question if we have, so we must ask Sensei if you not clear with something.
After this course, now I know Chado is not just making a cup of green tea that simple, I’m glad I did attend this course, highly recommend for those who are interested. Teacher is friendly and well experienced.
