Elspeth, I think I'll wait for the movie because that book will put me to sleep. Speaking of which, time for me to do just that. See ya' all tomorrow for coffee and more forum chat...

Address by His Imperial Highness The Crown Prince on the Occasion of the Opening Ceremony of the 20th IUBMB International Congress of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and 11th FAOBMB Congress
Sunday, June 18, 2006
Kyoto International Conference Hall

Distinguished participants,
Ladies and gentlemen,
 I am pleased that the 20th IUBMB International Congress of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and the 11th FAOBMB Congress is being held here, with the participation of so many scientists from all over the world.
 39 years ago, in Tokyo, this Congress was convened for the first time in Japan. Since then, the life sciences have made remarkable developments, and we live now in the early 21st century when dramatic advances in the life sciences may herald a new era for mankind. I feel very happy that Japan is again hosting this Congress of worldwide importance, this time in Kyoto, with the theme "Life: Molecular Integration & Biological Diversity."
 It is said that we are now in the midst of the golden age of the life sciences. The human genome, the very blueprint of a human body, has been decoded, and scientists, through their efforts, will eventually translate this genomic information into a scenario for the drama of life. It is extremely interesting how genome research will reveal the history of life.
 At the same time, the life sciences are also closely linked to the issues of medical treatment of serious diseases such as leukemia and AIDS and assuring safety of food supply, which are presently confronting us and affecting our daily life. It is no exaggeration to say that this area of science will profoundly influence the future of mankind. In this context, I am very happy to see so many young scientists participating in this Congress.  Finally, I wish to express the hope that this Congress will produce fruitful results and contribute to the prosperity and welfare of mankind.

AT the moment it is the festival of O-Bon, the honouring of your ancestors. Naruhito is doing what many Japanese are doing now, returning to their hometowns or areas and paying homage to their deceased family members. O-Bon is a national day ( public holiday, there's a week's holiday around O-Bon)
