In case of emergency, or if you are really lost, the organizer
Shizuo Kaji,
will all have cellphones and will be available to help
you.
Cellphone numbers are as follows. Phone numbers are given
exactly as
you would dial it from a standard payphone in Japan. (See the section
"Communications: internet, telephones, etc" for more on using pay
phones.)
Shizuo Kaji: 090-3622-2705
Kansai Kenshu Centre front desk phone number:
06-6608-8260
It is recommended that you carry this phone number with you at
all times. The people at the KKC front desk do speak some English so
they should be able to help you in an emergency.
Have this with you at all times during the conference:
Your conference nametag (look on the back).
When
you register for the conference and receive your nametag, you will see
that on the back of your conference nametag there is a list of
emergency contact phone numbers (including those of the conference
organizers above), the address
(in Japanese) of the Kansai Kenshu Centre, and
an explanation (in
Japanese) that you are a foreign participant in a mathematics
conference hosted by Osaka City University. In the event of an
emergency, or if you are truly lost, if you show the back of your
nametag to a Japanese person or police officer, they should be able to
help you.
Your passport.
It is recommended that you carry
your passport at all times while you are in Japan. This is a legal
requirement, and the police will not overlook it (i.e. failure to
produce your passport on request is likely to result in considerable
inconvenience!)
