Bologna ~ Univ. Bologna ~ Case Grandi 10km

1. Bologna University, which was founded one thousand years ago, is still at the top level in the world today. Today’s headline picture shows Bologna University’s research center jointly run by Johns Hopkins University in the U.S.

2. The new shoes I wore a few days ago seemed not to fit well. I had a hard time because the blister on my toes did not disappear. While I took one day off, I went to a general hospital near the lodging.

3. It is a public hospital named Ospedale Maggiore “Carlo Alberto Pizzardi”.

4. I decided to go to the emergency room of this hospital for treatment and experience. I waited for a long time, and received treatment and prescription for medicine. Google Translator played an important role in this process. The hospital is friendly and does not charge for treatment. It’s an amazing system.

5. Today course is 10 km that I walked through Bologna University and downtown.

30. The University of Bologna was the first university to start the modern university system one thousand years ago. In other words, by introducing the system of lectures and thesis, the objective function of lecture and the subjective function of research were introduced to students at the same time.

31. In particular, it was great that writing doctorate thesis had undergone review & defense process. If I interpret this in my style, doctorate system had
1) internal condition of ‘intellectual curiosity and its achievements’ and
2) external requirement of ‘assessment of actual contribution.’
I would like to evaluate the merit of intersecting balance as the cornerstone of the university system.

32. The woof and weft lines must cross in order to make a cloth. A father and a mother are needed for children to grow up properly. So is knowledge. If you lose your balance, you will be lame.

33. The University of Bologna which was established one thousand years ago, is still at the world’s top level because it has created and fiercely inherited a balance based on such essence. Normally, the city’s population is 400,000, but increase to 500,000 during the lecture season.
The photo is a research center jointly operated with Johns Hopkins University in the United States.

34. Just yesterday, I heard a news about a university in Korea that gave an indulgence to a doctoral thesis written falsely. The screening and defense process did not work at all. If you lose your balance, you immediately become a servant of power. Korean universities are sick.

45. They are being used as parks.

46. I saw a residential building as I approached the lodging. The roof was made like a forest.
