Some of the higlights of Japanese Week:
- Sushi Dinner
- Japanese Tea Ceremony
- Sake degustation
- Kendo demonstration by "Samurai"
- Movie Night (Hayao MIYAZAKI is one of the greatest animators and directors in Japan. The entertaining plots, compelling characters and breathtaking animation in his films have earned him international renown from critics as well as public recognition within Japan. Disney's commitment to introduce the films to the rest of the world will let more people appreciate the high-quality works Miyazaki has given us.
- Presentation from Nissan
- some dance machine, Play Station 2 competition
- usual big big party on Friday night.

Last week, there was also a presentation about Careers in Private Equity for those interested (often by CMS and linked to students with experience in the field). This week: how to get to work for international organizations, such as the World Bank.

On Thursday, a Beaujolais nouveau afternoon, with cheese tasting, organized by the French.
On Saturday, party at Fleury.

This is just a non-exhaustive list of some of the things that are happening at INSEAD this week.
