Ten days is a short time for any exchange programme and our experience was no exception. Nevertheless, we had a fruitful experience of Japanese university life and nursing practices. We had precious opportunities to interact with professors and local students to exchange ideas and knowledge and we visited local mental healthcare settings and took part in caring for patients in need. We also visited Chiba University Hospital and found many good examples that hospitals in Hong Kong could learn from and apply locally. During the weekend, we visited different places around Tokyo and got a glimpse of Japanese pop and ancient culture. We received far more than academic knowledge during our trip and we look forward to travelling to Japan again very soon.
