Advisor meeting 2 (Feedback)

-Responses around the moment (at the table)
-Context, factual, aspect
-Space, area (Some problems we can look at e.g. Japanese fast food in NZ) When would we use these traditional rituals?
-Define our key issues
-Define our demographics
-More of a educational moment? Or appreciation? (Learning through experience?)
-How "authentic" do we want it to be? (Frame it for that moment?)
-Ethnic good groups are changing -> fast food
Does will our idea work in NZ and with our demographics?
-How does a traditional ritual fit in a contemporary context?
-How do they appreciate traditional Japanese aspects of etiquette if most traditional foods has turned into fast food when introduced to NZ?

Caroline Feedback

-Etiquette is a traditional way of beingness and is influenced by beliefs and philosopical things such as eating, caligraphy ,spiritual elements etc.
-Think about the perspective of the people as a whole

-The meaning is taken out but how do we put the meaning back in?
-What does the etiquette mean to the japanese people?

-Semiotics could be used with colour and symbolism

-Think about the story that you want to be told and how it will transform
ie. this is where we are now and how do we put back what was lost?

-Why should we care? What is it's role in society?

Audiences:

NZ audience who are interested in entering / successfully doing business in Japan.
(Japan is a major trading partner with New Zealand) It would be good for this demographic to enhance their relationship with future Japanese co-workers / boss / business by earning respect and learning about a particular aspect of their culture. 
"We use eating as a medium for social relationships: satisfaction of the most individual of needs becomes a means of creating community."
"Dinner too is habitual, and aims at order and communication, at satisfying both the appetite of the diners and their expectations as to how everybody present should behave."

Japan and New Zealand have been enjoying friendly and wide ranging relationships. There are close communications between the governments, business leaders and people. The Government-to-Government dialogue includes talks between leaders and ministers, which are held at various opportunities such as ministerial visits to each other's country or at multilateral meetings such as APEC, ARF (Asean Regional Forum), or at UN meetings. There are also frequent talks at an official level on a wide range of topics. - Japan Embassy 

3,000 New Zealanders are currently living and working in Japan, engaging in a variety of professions. Perhaps most noticeably, a significant number work as English teachers, both under the Japanese Government’s Japan Exchange and Teaching Programme (JET), and under private contracts. - New Zealand foreign affairs and trade

"Less noticeable signs can catch us off our guard and rob us more insidiously of our sense of security. Most of the picturesque (vivid) details that strike travellers as weird have to do with table manners."
