Hey, the university is nearly 5 years old. The official birthday is November 19 so I ask you all to raise a glass of friendship on that date. I realize that this is post US election result date and things may be very freaky. All the same, remember OIST and be reassured that good things happen.

We have a big party to celebrate our 5th birthday. Premature, I agree but scheduling is the the worst of evils.

India we love you!

If I can make it here, I can make it anywhere. Go Ruth.

Caramba!

A warm Okinawan night

You have to love Okinawa

The acts are, er,acted by OIST staff and students. Great night. What has been achieved at OIST over the last 5 years is incomparable. Believe me.
