Well in Nagasaki [sic – should be Fukuoka] we were looked after there by a professor, whose name actually just escapes me at the moment, but he looked after us very well and took us on tours of the castles and a big active volcano at Aso as I remember, we learnt about Japanese architecture.
Norman Greenwood (1925-2012) was born in Australia and graduated from Melbourne University before going to Cambridge. His wide-ranging research in inorganic and structural chemistry made major advances in the chemistry of boron hydrides and other main-group element compounds. He also pioneered the application of Mössbauer spectroscopy to problems in chemistry. He was a prolific writer and inspirational lecturer on chemical and educational themes, and held numerous visiting professorships throughout the world.
