I am working as an interpreter for a project
in a pharmaceutical company.
I am not an expert in medical field, and I did not
have any confidence to work as an interpreter.
Though I had many year's experience in attending
interpreter's school and actually devoted myself to study hard
to become an interpreter, I have always suffered from
a complex when I speak in English and I am very embarrassed
to be called an interpreter because of my poor English ability.
I could not drop this idea so far.
However, now I am working as an interpreter for a project that
my company is doing.
The field of the project is very technical, especially to me
so I have to learn many things every day.
I am learning new words through my work.
Then I realized that I do not have to show off my ability.
I just have to learn new words one by one,
and with the knowledge, if I can help my team staff
to communicate smoothly, this is my goal.
Fluency is also important, but having good communication
with my collegues and helping them with my ability
is more important to be an interpreter.

New workplace
***
Yesterday was the first day of my work.
The office location is spectacular. Shinagawa-statation area
has a lot of skyscraper buildings. It is a real urban life.
But if you walk in an opposite way from the station, you will find
typical Japanese old type fish shop and vegetable store.
Tokaido-shukuba town is still there.
It is a mysterious and interesting contrast !

Day 1st
***
Finally, the day has come.
Today is the first day of my Tokyo life.
When I left my hometown to board the Shinkan-sen,
my family came to the station to say good bye to me.
Since most of my baggages were already sent by Takkyu-bin beforehand,
only with my suitcase and small bags, I rode on the Shinkansen.
It was a very nice day, so luckily I saw the mountain Fuji through the window
of the train. After I arrived in my new room, I decided to explore the big city.
So, I stood in the middle of the crowded city of Shin-juku.
I had just tried to visit a large bookstore, Kinokuniya
but I was overwhelmed by the crowd of people and was lightheaded.
At night, I do not why but suddenly I was very disappointed and cried.
umm...

My Room
***
I am going to rent a temporary room in my new place.
It is a monthly furnished one-room plus small kitchen apartment.
The rent is well over 100,000 yen per month.
It includes utility charges and the location is very convenient.
It is very near my workplace. I can walk to my office every morning.
The good thing is I am now freed from fears and worries about
how to commute to work by crowded trains in a new city.
The room has a small desk, a chair and a LAN cable available.
I can bring my PC and printer.
This is all I need for the time being.
Along with these devices, I can devote myself
to study hard to acquire new things about pharmaceutical industry
which I will embark on.
Sadly, I have no idea what kind of attractive things are there in Tokyo.
I am pretty sure it has many.
But right now, since I am a total stranger in the new city,
there is nothing to distract me from the study.
How lucky I am!
.... maybe.

My family
My father, my mother, my younger sister and niece.
This is my family.
My niece is three years old. She is sooooooo cute.
Spending time with her is significant and precious to me.
Today, we visited an Italian restaurant near my house and
enjoyed lots of pasta, pizza and dolce. Tasty.
How many hours can I spend time with my family
in the rest of my life?
I thought the time is unlimited forever....
