Computer Enginnering Student Wins Japanese Language Contest
Fourth year Bilkent Computer Engineering student Eyüp Sabri Konak is currently visiting Japan on a trip he won by beating hundreds of other participants to capture first place in a Japanese speech contest. In November during Japanese Week, the Embassy of Japan organized the 7th Annual Japanese Speech Contest in Ankara. Twenty students from various departments of Japanese Literature and those who learn Japanese for non-professional reasons were selected from the many applicants to deliver their speeches about a broad spectrum of issues concerning Japan, its culture, and Turko-Japanese relations.
Eyüp won with his speech titled "The Influence of Haiku (a form of Japanese poetry) and Kanji (Chinese characters)." Konak left on Hitachi-funded trip on the 4th and through the 19th he will visit several cities in Japan including Tokyo, where Hitachi is based; and Hiroshima. Konak has been taking Japanese for four years at Bilkent.
