We had a video conference with members of the Executive Committee of Tele-medicine Supporting Project. We connected with project members in Chiang Mai, Thailand to discuss about the upcoming JICA grassroots project trip.

Although it has now become common for us to use video conference, but when you come to think about it, it is like we live in a future we once imagined of. Of course, email and telephone are convenient to use, but when it comes to communication, I believe no method is better than actual face to face communication.

However, if you are far away from a person you want to talk to, it used to take tremendous effort to make this face to face communication possible. Nowadays, with a help of technology, we are now able to enjoy virtual face to face communication.

It certainly was productive to hold a video conference, we got a lot of things done! There are only few days left to go to Chiang Mai. Lets get working!!!
