Here, all participants information were verified. A medical card, schedule of the orientation week program, rules of accommodation, bank account and any other related expenses were discussed and given during this briefing. It lasted about noon just after we were given a quick tour around the facilities. Then, at 1430, participants were brought by JICA bus to the nearest Bank of Okinawa branch to learn how to use the ATM cash dispenser. After an hour, again, we could have our own leisure time here in OIC.
