20th overseas business trip since the earthquake

My passport was washed away in the tsunami and reissued. I first traveled with it in July 2011, and today marks my 20th time leaving the country. My passport has a note in English stating that I was affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake. When entering several countries, immigration officers have spoken to me, saying, "It must have been tough. But Japan will definitely recover and revitalize. Our technology and morals are world-class." That's what I thought: "Give up on giving up. If we do that, we will surely create a bright future and a region that we can be proud of on the world stage." I'm traveling to Mauritius from today until March 26th. This is the culmination of my work on coastal conservation and environmental conservation planning in Mauritius' coastal areas. There are technologies and information there that I can bring back to Japan and Fukushima, and share the experiences and technologies of Japan and Fukushima with the world.
