Nice to meet you

 Nice to meet you,

1. My name is Yuko Shimizu, I was born in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan. My current address is Okinawa Prefecture. I have been worked as researcher of Prefectural Government. From this year, I am on a leave of absence from work and enrolled in the doctoral course at Gifu University, but I am living in Okinawa Island for research. And, now I am staying in Hue University, Vietnam for research internship for three months from September to December. I am challenging myself how live in my life and work.

2.My academic field is “applied entomology” or “pest control”. My doctoral study theme is " Research of the native natural enemy community targeting pest thrips in subtropical regions". The most interesting aspect of my work at the moment is that in crop fields, how insect pests, natural enemy and biological control agent are associated with phenology of crops and plant cultivation, for efficiently controlling the pests with using natural enemy.

3. I stay in Hue City located in central Vietnam, therefore every day I am facing to unusual events and eat local foods there, that is exciting for me.  

Every day I go to small restaurants and kitchen’s cars with riding on bicycle. Vietnam’s foods were very delicious and cheap. I like ‘bun’, this food is rice noodle with various toppings of beef, shrimp, eggs, sausages and so on and low price of about 150 yen. Local people usually put more chili source to ‘bun’ and eat very spicy. But I do not use chili source because my stomach is delicate.

Thank you for reading.

I look forward to your posts.
