Business trip

***

I has been out of city for this week for business trip.

Last Tuesday, I left Haneda airport, then arrived in Osaka airport.

Then I stayed at a hotel in Osaka for the whole week.

I visited Kansai area just for work. There was no time to

spend freely. I had to come back to Tokyo.

This weekend was a three-day holiday in Japan, but my schedule was

only for work.

Gen-mai rice

I love brown rice!! (Gen-mai). It is unmilled, unpolished rice.

Since I moved here and started to live alone, I have not have chance to eat

brown rice, so I starved for it.

After three weeks of search, finally I can prepare brown rice.

It is tasty. It contains lots of fibers, so it is good for bowel movement, too.

Healthy food.

celebrity's bread (セレブのパン）

This is the "Melon bread"(メロンパン) which I bought in Tokyo today.
It is 320 yen! The most expensive "melon pan" that I have ever bought.

Here are my current working conditions in my new company.

1) The first three month is a trial period. (OK, I will try my best.)

2) After three month, if both sides (the company and myself) agree,
I will be a permanent employee of the company. (Oh, that must be great idea.)

3) The monthly salary as a permanent employee is still unknown...

Does it sounds funny? I don't receive any information on how much I can get.

Will it be 50,000yen, or 100,000yen?? Still, it is a total mystery to me!

Truly sounds funny, is it?

Today, I had a teleconference with people from Germany.
As an interpreter, I translated their conversation.

The topic was to create manuals for a medical device.
They had a detailed discussion and the meeting lasted
for three hours.

I needed lots of energy in the teleconference and I thought
I must learn many things in the pulmonary disease field
which my team is involved in our project.
