いわどさんのトーク

げつようびのごごごじに　マッケナハルで　いわどさんのトークに　いきました。Overall, I enjoyed Mr. Iwado's lecture very much.  Though some of the political nuances he explained were a little bit over my head, he gave a lot of insight on U.S.-Japan relations, as well as Japan in general.  Mr. Iwado talked a lot about the TPP, the Trans-Pacific Partnership, especially referencing its impacts and importance not only to the U.S., but also to the whole world. Another interesting aspect of Japan that he talked about was Japan's influence on the United States.  By referencing things such as statistics on the number of Japanese businesses in U.S. states, he opened our eyes to the importance of our country's relationship with Japan.  Originally, I thought that the lecture was strictly going to be about Japan's politics and political issues surrounding the country, but Mr. Iwado incorporated a lot of other interesting details about Japan, such as its culture and geography.  In this way, I learned very much not only about Japan's political standing, but also other defining factors of the country.  Mr. Iwado also threw in some humor, which is always a plus, especially in a lecture.
