Questionnaires
1. What made you decide to choose Japan and TMU for your study?
After about 4 years working in some civil construction projects in Vietnam,
I had many opportunities to work together with Japanese engineers. I have
been truly admired the knowledge and technique level of them. For this
reason, I think study in Japan would give me a good chance to improve my
professional capacity. Fortunately, after applying for studying, I have
been accepted to enter the lab by Professor Uji. Being studied in one of
the most reputational university in Japan as Tokyo Metropolitan University
is always my dream.
2. About your plans or prospects after finished your program.
After years living here, Japan became a part of my heart. In the future,
eventhough I would return my country or live in Japan, I wish I would have
chance to work or cooperate with Japanese people
3. How’s your life in Japan? … Differences from your country, interesting
aspects, difficulties and how you manage them.
My most impressions of Japan are safety and clean. Moreover, the people
is very kind and polite. Of course, there are some disadvantages of Japan
life such as: the living-cost is too expensive and the Japanese language
is so difficult... But anyway, learning from the Japanese people, working
as them, we could survive!

Questionnaires
1. What made you decide to choose Japan and TMU for your study?
Japan is a very high degree of civilization, very beautiful and prosperous country, my university professors have had a lot of academic exchanges with Japanese professors before, I think the study on the technology of concrete structure and durability aspects in Japan is very advanced, the most important is that TMU is famous for civil engineering, so I made up my mind to come here for the further study.
2. About your plans or prospects after finished your program.
When I finish my program and my doctor course, maybe I will try my best to become a college teacher, whether in China or in Japan. It is always my dream. Make my own contribution to the construction industry of the world.
3. What do you hope for your life in Japan?
I was very surprised at the waste classification in Japan, every road is
so clean that I cannot find any waste but leaves. Meanwhile, Japan is a
very order, polite and respectable country, it is so comfortable and pleasant
