description In the middle of January 2014 during the winter season, three post graduate students from Community Health Department, Faculty of Medicine, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) were invited to have a taste of experience on public health practice in Niigata Graduate School of Medicine & Dental Sciences (NU) under Division of International Health (Public Health). This is the fourth group which was invited through the student exchange program between both universities. The journey took almost 7 hours from Kuala Lumpur International Airport to Narita International Airport by plane; and another 2 hours by bullet train (shinkansen) ride from Tokyo City to Niigata prefecture. The cold weather, which was below 2 degree Celsius, did not stop our burning desire to step into the country which was well known for its modernization and yet still upholding its ancient and renowned tradition.
