How to Fix the Import Error in the Odoo 17Celine George
An import error occurs when a program fails to import a module or library, disrupting its execution. In languages like Python, this issue arises when the specified module cannot be found or accessed, hindering the program's functionality. Resolving import errors is crucial for maintaining smooth software operation and uninterrupted development processes.

Japan, the land of rising sun, is where we
can find the best of technology and
innovation. The origin of the popular ramen
and one of the top producers of quality
make-up and facial-body regimen.It’s been
quite a while since I last visited the amazing
country. PAARL chosen Tokyo as the tour
destination for their 2015 Library Tour. It
consist of visits to Libraries, Museums and
important tourist destination in Tokyo.
October is really a good weather in Japan as
autumn just started as leaves are turning
into red, orange and yellow and as the
weather is trying to be cooler.
We arrived in Tokyo in the afternoon with a
very good and relaxing flight by one of the
best airline around the globe: ANA. The
group are welcomed by the energetic Tour
guide named Aimee. She is very
accommodating with a good sense of
humor. Normally, it’s hard to meet
Japanese with good English skills but
with our tour guide, she is fluent in
the language and can be understood
by everyone. She loves to talk and
share us stories about the Japanese
way of life. Japan is separated by pre-
fectures and Narita airport, where we
landed, is in Chiba prefecture, 50 km
away from Tokyo prefecture. The
temperature during our visit is around
20° c but it rises up to 40° c during
summer. The Famous and busiest
month in Japan is during March
where Sakura festivals are happening.

very welcoming area for the readers. The
library adopts a closed stack systemand
implements a policy for the circulation of
materials in three easy steps. The tour
guide mentioned that the library has an
estimated 1,800 visitors per day and we
have noticed that old Japanese people
aging 75 to 80 years old are still using
the library and know how to tinker with
the computers despite their age. The li-
brary provides free access to those who
have reached 18 years old.Like in other
libraries, personal belongings are not
allowed within the premises but the li-
brary provides a plastic bag for those
who do not want to leave their valuables.
As we walk through the area, we saw
some smoking areas inside the library.
Japanese men are very much into smok-
ing and probably this is the reason they
have a separate area for them. The annex
building hassimilar design with the main
building. But the distinction between the
two is that the circulation counter in the
main library is intended for books while
the one in the annex is for the periodi-
cals. We also had the chance to enter
their restricted area. This is where they
house all their materials for circulation.
The area is situated in the underground
because according to them, it has the best
area for good preservation. We also had
the chance to visit their basement 8, the
second deepest area in Tokyo and actu-
ally 30 meters deep. They consider it as
the busiest area because this is where
they get all the materials. The tour guide
also shared thatup to 140 meters

Blossom trees where leaves are turn-
ing to pink. It normally lasts about a
week before they fall on the ground. The
most popular that has been introduced by
the tour guide was their hightech toilet. It
consists of several buttons that can give
the best experience that anyone can have.
Our first day is free time, so everyone is
open to discover the city by ourselves.
The hotel is located in the shopping area
Shinjuku and we were very happy be-
cause all the shopping outlets were ac-
cessible in the area. We did try the fa-
mous Ramen in town, theIchiran Ramen,
where we found a very long queue be-
cause of its very creamy Ramen soup.
We were able to experience ordering,
thru a vendo machine, the particular
ramen that we like plus other additional
orders. There are separate tables for pri-
vacy to be able to enjoy the sumptuous
meal. After a great meal, we started to
check the different shops for our
“pasalubong”, and one of the most popu-
lar and cheapest finds is the Don Quijote
shopping mall. Along the way, we tried
the Puri shop where took pictures with
our friends. It has a very nice machine in
Japan where we anyone can edit pictures
like a pro! Like what we have in the Phil-
ippines, karaoke is also common to them.
We did not let the night pass without
trying one. They even have choices of
English and Filipino songs. We ended
late but no regrets for the amazing ex-
perience on our free day.
The remaining days were scheduledforli-
brary tours in Tokyo city. On our second
day, the call time was 8:30 a.m. and eve-
ryone woke up very early. We had our
breakfast in the hotel and everyone was
very happy with the buffet meal. Our
first stop was the famous Tokyo Tower.
The group came very early and we were
the first in the line. We went to its main
observatory which is 150 meters from the
ground. The view in the area is the entire
Tokyo City and if there is a good weather
condition, the Mt. Fuji can be seen.
There is a part on the tower which has a
glass floor where one can view the
ground and everyone took pictures while
viewing and stepping on the glass floor.
Everyone was fascinated on how Japan
was able to create such a great structure.
Our next destination was the National
Diet Library. This is the counterpart of
the National Library of the Philippines.
We felt sad when we were not allowed to
take pictures of the library. Probably
what they want for us was not to miss the
experience and treasure every beautiful
moment in our memories. As we entered
the building of the National Diet Library,
we were given IDs to gain access to the
facility and the restricted areas. The or-
ganizers briefed us about the origin and
basic functions of the library. According
to our tour guide, the main library hasa
total collection of 4.5 million whereas the
annex has7.5 million collection and the
Kansai-kan has 6 million capacity which
is currently being developed to have a
capacity that can accommodate up to 20
million collection. We first visited the
main building and I find the area vibrant
with good ventilation and gothic archi-
tectural design. It has a high ceiling and a

guide showed and taught us how to pray
to Buddha and make a wish on whatever
we wanted to have. There is also a well
where everyone can take a sip of their
natural spring water. Outside the temple
is the Nakamise, the shopping area where
anyone can buy souvenirs ranging from
magnets, key chains, lanterns, authentic
Japanese food and Kimono dress. Al-
though a little bit costly, it is a one stop
shop where people can buy souvenirs for
loved ones. We stayed there until evening
when the temple started lighting their
lanterns and temples. The area became
livelier and one can definitely feel the
Japanese vibe in the place. The dinner is
in a Yakiniku restaurant. We had smoke-
less grill of meat, pork beef and chicken
with Japanese rice. I find the food in Ja-
pan very fresh, delectable and really
good.
On our third day, the group started in
preparation for our transfer to another
prefecture. We went to Yokohama where
we stayed for one night prior to our de-
parture to Manila. We started our tour by
visiting the Meiji University. The afore-
stated school has four campuses and
went to the classroom of first and second
year students who study literature. The
library serving the students in the campus
is the Izumi Library. The Library is very
new and only constructed last May 2015.
I noticed that all the facilities and equip-
ment are new and modern. We were very
fortunate to have a Filipino-Japanese tour
guide named Mariko. She is very fluent
in using the Filipino language since she
lived in...(continued on page 4)
deep is still acceptable for preserving
books. The entire basement area hasa
restricted and controlled 22°C humidity
in order to maintain the quality of materi-
als. The lights in the area are movement
sensitive and automatically open when
someone walks along the corridor. We
also observed that the Japanese librarians
and staff are very serious with their
work. This can probably be attributed
totheir deep-rooted passion for whatever
task at hand. In the end, everybody was
hopeful that the time will come the Na-
tional Library of the Philippines will also
be competitive like ourneighboring coun-
tries.
Another important tourist destination that
we toured in Tokyo is the Imperial Pal-
ace. As we arrive in the location, the en-
tire Palace wascovered with rock pine
trees, the national tree of Japan, consider-
ing that the size of the full area is nearly
three square miles. The commonality
about the palaces in Japan is that they are
built at the center surrounded by water on
each side with one entrance. While all
trees cover all sides of the palace. The
Imperial Palace where the Emperor and
Empress resideis off limits to visitors and
tourists. Everyone can only reach up to
the boundary near the land and lake. The
palace is well-secured and the whole
vicinity is well maintained with a profes-
sional bonsai gardener who maintains the
bonsai rock pine trees.
We headed to Hamarikyu to take a river
cruise. This is to see and appreciate more
the city of Tokyo while enjoying the cold
breeze. The cruise is a very simple ship
with a restaurant and restrooms for pas-
sengers. There is also an upper deck area
so that everyone could clearly see the
view outside. I guess it’s better if we
tried this one during the night with the
city lights around us.
Our last stop is the most visited place in
Tokyo, Asakusa Temple. This is one of
the temples visited by Japanese and tour-
ists as well. A huge temple with colorful
lanterns surrounds the area. The tour

outside Tokyo that takes one hour travel
time.
We had our buffet dinner in a mall with
the lovely view of the Cosmo World
theme park. We ended our night with last
minute shopping before our flight back to
Manila scheduled the following day.
The last day was saddest day for
everyone. It seems like the days of our
visit was not enough to explore the entire
city. Yet overall, we were very happy and
satisfied with our tour. We visited two
more places. Firstly is theMiraikan, the
national museum for emerging science
and technology. This is the very
interesting place where we saw many of
the inventions …(continued on page 5)
Mindanao for couple of years before she
went back to Japan. Another distinctive
feature of the library is the zoning of
noise from the lowest floor to the upper-
most. The higher the floor, the lesser
noise the library users should
make. Each floor is also color coordi-
nated. Lower floors hascolorfulfurnitures
while higher floors have hues of nude to
black and white colors. The library has
high tech facilities such as self-operate
photocopying machines, self-check ma-
chine, touch screen information machine,
and digitized newspapers that can be
viewed using a 50- inch television. The
library has an estimated holding of
32,000 books. Students can borrow 15
books for 15 days without incurring
overdue fines. The library which has 32
staff and a 1,200 seating capacity servesa
student population of 10,000.
After our amazing tour in the Meiji Uni-
versity, we went to another institution
that caters specifically to the arts. The
Musashino Art University is a special-
ized university for art education. Thestu-
dents were busy preparing for an art fes-
tival when we arrivedthere. We were
amazed on how the students created a
magical world of Harry Potter with a
beautiful structural design. I was in awe
with how the Japanese students have this
passion for arts that everything that they
do is impressive. We went directly to the
MAU M&L (Musashino Art University
Museum and Library), a state-of-the-art
building. It is a new library built last
2010 that has almost 280,000 books re-
lated to arts and one of the largest librar-
ies in Japan. As we enter the library, eve-
rything wasartistically designed espe-
cially the library’s interior design. The
area used minimalist colors with an invit-
ing area for reading and studying. The
library designed the walls with shelves as
high as the ceiling. There are also spe-
cific areas intended for exhibits. I also
find the furnitures very unique and com-
fortable for use. Actually, there was no
library tour conducted but they let us
discover the beauty of the library on our
own.
The last stop was the Tokyo National
Museum. The museum is one of the old-
est and largest museums in Japan. We
had the chance to visit the main Honkan
building. In spite of the limited time al-
lotted for our tour, we definitely enjoyed
the artifacts preserved in the museum.
There are three floors in the building
with a basement and a museum shop for
souvenirs. The first floor caters to the
general exhibits organized by genre such
as Japanese sculptures, swords, records
of history, and many others. Mostof the
exhibits on the second floor highlightsthe
Japanese art. The entire architectural
design of the building has resemblance
with the Imperial Palace. It is a very re-
freshing place serves as reminder of the
Japanese culture and traditions. In front
of the Museum is the Euno Park. During
spring, particularly Cherry Blossom Fes-
tival, the entire park is filled with pink
blossom of Sakura. Many people are
visiting the area to watch the fullbloom
of the Cherry blossoms. After the tour,
we went to Yokohama. It is another city

Indeed, this is another successful
colloquium, an activity that we should
not missed every year.
We learn new things in every forum,
seminars and conferences, but listening
to a research presentation also gives us a
lot of ideas. Ideas that can help improve
the so many aspects of librarianship in
our country.

the Earth called the Geo-cosmos. It is a
high precision globe using LED panels.
Robots world which is the famous tech-
nology in their country shows the otonar-
oid and komodoroid, the human robots. It
is unbelievable to look at them and I had
goose bumps while seeing them talk and
move. The life in space is also featured
particularly the interiors of a spaceship.
Interactive play is also available specifi-
cally topics about life, the universe and
the Earth. It is admirable to see how
technology became a natural part of the
Japanese way of life. Our last destination
was Odaiba, the popular shopping and
entertainment district. This is where the
famous Gundam robot, replica of Statue
of Liberty and the overlooking rainbow
bridge are located. We were also lucky to
witness an festive event in Odaiba where
thousands of Japanese wear cosplay
outfits. Cosplaying started in Japan and
very popular during Halloween. This is
where I saw the authentic cosplayers and
I am very much overwhelmed. Odaiba is
also a shopping destination especially for
touristsobsessed with clothes and shoes.
As we headed our way to the airport, I
realized that this trip is one awesome
adventure. I was able to reunite with my
former professors and meet new
librarians along the way. I will never
forget the memories and new learnings I
had on library methods and the latest
technology. I intend to share my
experiences to my colleagues and apply
them in improving our library services. I
will never trade for anything my adven-
tures in Japan for it opened my eyes to
the many possibilities that we can also
achieve as a nation.
