On Monday I will be traveling to Japan. This will be my first time overseas. I am excited and at the same time nervous. The purpose of the trip is business. I am going on behalf of the company I work for to service a customer who is having issues with our machine.
I leave Portland on Monday and arrive in Tokyo on Tuesday. My return trip I leave Tokyo on Saturday afternoon and arrive in Portland Saturday morning. It's like time travel. I expect it to be hard on the body.
I hope that during my time there I will get to experience some of Japan in my free time; site see, eat, and maybe shop a little. Sushi is not my favorite, okay I actually don't like it at all, but I am willing to try things... we'll see.
During the past couple of weeks I have been reading up on Japanese culture and business practices. This has been an interesting learning experience, I look forward to seeing how accurate what I have read is during my trip. I am prepared with gifts for those I am going to see, gifts from Oregon. This is one of the traditions I am familiar with.
I will have a computer with me and hope to make a couple entries on my trip.
Pray for my safety and success.
