Blogging in Japan

Greetings from Japan. Matt and I are currently training our representatives in Japan and having a grand old time. What is not to like about your eyes burning from confused sleep patterns and answering lots of questions that you thought you'd already cleared up. The good thing is I have access to the web, so I can write a blog and do lots of other things while we talk because the translation back and forth takes considerable time. The funny thing is that sometimes I don't know if I am listening to Japanese or English and get surprised when they switch back to English and I am working on something else.

So far, our trip to Japan has been pretty uneventful. Our hotel is pretty nice with a good complementary breakfast and high speed internet. We are staying very near Shinjuku in the middle of a very built up area. It makes me a little claustrophobic as I long for the beautiful green fields of the Palouse, but I'll be back soon enough. It is quite comical to watch Matt and me go out to dinner. We looked into many windows trying to discern what the plastic meal in the display might taste like, but in the end, we always end up visiting Ronald, Mr. Sanders, the King or Subway. Oh to understand a few Kanji. Heaven knows that we will not get fat though, everything in these restaurants has been miniaturized. I suppose it is really a great plan, I don't think you really need anything more than you get; I think it is psychological but I am still hungry just thinking about it.

More later.
