京都府立鳥羽高等学校

One of the key issues focused on by the participating students is the effect of tourism induced by media. The students went out in the city of Taipei to interview local people and tourists visiting there in the morning. One of the places in which they conduced their interview was a place which was used in a promotion video crip of a popular Japanese music band, "back number," and was featured in a TV program, "Kodokuno Gurume," which introduces cheap and tasty local dishes from across Japan and the world. In the afternoon, they visited National Taiwan University, during the vist of which, they took part in the tour around the university library specially organized for this occasion. They were provided with a precious opportunity to look at not only the latest facilities of the library but also invaluable pieces of material. They are going to visit Taiwan Kataoka Corporation tomorrow, whose head office is located in the city of Kyoto.
