Discussion 6: Think positive
Q4. Universal design and barrier free are terms we often hear now. What are some example?
(I'm sorry to be late publishing...)

I've heard "universal design udon noodles" in Japan. This noodles made by disabled person and his mother. He and his mother noticed noodles is not universal food when they eat noodles so they started to make universal design udon noodles. Their idea is so unique. They punched a lot of hole a udon noodle so if disabled people use chopsticks when they eat udon noodles, they can eat it by themself more easilly.

Discussion 5 : Happiness

3. Bhutan started a Gross National Happiness Index. Now, there is a United Nations World Happiness Index. In 2012, Denmark was top, Canada 5th, New Zealand 8th, US 11th, UK 18th, Japan 44th, and Togo was last. Why do you think Japan is so low in spite of being a rich country?


To my mind, Japanese worker always busy cause of few employment of inflation so they have to work hard and they have to do over twice work. I guess this is the one of the mainreason why Japanese people don't feel happy. I believe if they have more free time, they have time which they feel happy.
