The Diet is Japan's Parliment. We were able to tour the building and see the chambers. No pictures are allowed inside though. We did get pictures on the outside and during our stroll through the gardens. My fellow teacher and new friend Lynne, pictured with me, spent last year as an Einstein Fellow working with members of the United State's Congress.
Today we met with a member of parliment and a professor with a political and economic background to discuss the Japanese system of government. We also heard from an national education expert and learned about Japan's economy.
