I have a business trip to Seoul from tomorrow.

After spending three days in the city of South Korea, I will be back to Tokyo.

Then, for the following week, I will visit again Seoul for another business trip.

I will spend almost a third of this month in total in South Korea for business trips!

Surprisingly to me, Seoul town looks relatively similiar with the one in Japan.

Even when I visit a supermarket to buy something in Seoul city, I do not feel gap so much, and feel as if I am in a city of Japan although I can not understand any South Korean language.

I hope I can enjoy free time if available,

and can relax between jobs in the country!

From Oct.1

On October 1, I will be hired by a company in Tokyo as a permanent employee.
For newcomers, the company hold a ceremony and trainings in two days.
I will fly to Shikoku where the company's laboratory is present.

This is the first time for me to be employed as a permanent worker.

I am not young as a fresh newcomer. Who cares?
I can watch and learn many things and ask anything to anybody around me.

Sounds so exciting.

small trip

After spending three days in Kansai, before I left for Tokyo,

I had a small trip to Tokushima.

I booked a bas ticket and went to Tokushima.

The destination was a museum. (Otsuka Museum of Art)

There is a museum along the beautiful beach of Naruto in Tokushima.

The museum has a great collection of world famous masterpaintings

which were reproduced on ceramic boards.

Using a special manufacturing technique, the paintings are created with the same size of the original art works.

When you enter the musium, you can enjoy full-sized reproductions

as if you enter in a art book!

That was a fantastic experience to me.

Traveling alone in such a sunny day near the beautiful ocean is really great.

my work

I have moved to Tokyo about 7 months ago.
This is the first time for me to live in Tokyo, alone.
I was working for the company as a temporary worker dispatched from an agent.
Now, I am about to be hired as permanent employee.

my job

I work at a Japanese pharmaceutical company as interpreter.
I work for a project that the company is engaged for a global clinical trial.
The trial is conducted in Japan, Korea and China.
In this multi-national study, our project team is developing medicine for patients with respiratory disease.

***

I am still working in Tokyo at the same place for the same job.

However, things become complicated a little.

First, my job contract will be changed on October.

So far I was hired by IG, but the contract was expired last week.

Now I have lots of free time till October!

I can do anything.

What will I do?

***

Three months have passed!

I spent busy days for the last three months.

Last week, I visited South Korea to attend a conference
on business trip with my collegues.

This was the first visit to South Korea.

We had a pulmonary function test training. We went there
as a sponsor, and we invited PFT training trainers and
trainees from medical institutions.

I will go to there on June again.

Nest time, we will have a CT scanning meeting
with radiologists and respiratory doctors.
