I have finally arrived in Japan! After a long day… or days of travelling and flights (with a stop over in Beijing, China) I came to Osaka Kansai International Airport! Shortly after arrival I was picked up at the airport by the local trainer and also met several of the other trainees. The trainees are from all over: one Brit, one Aussie, one Kiwi, three Americans, and two Canadians (including myself). I have to admit that the trip from the airport to the place we are staying was a bit of a blur. We took a train and walked through some subways with our luggage, which was a bit of challenge with my suitcase and all the stairs. The group of us went out for some food and wandered around our neighbourhood in the evening.
After being awake for countless hours (and the 16 hour time difference for me from Victoria), my roommate and I crashed around 9pm. However, I woke up suddenly at about 3:30 am, I’m guessing that was my body’s way of telling me it’s going to take a while to get acclimatized to this new time zone.
Today we had a short training session from 10 am to 4 pm. We have a day off on Sunday and start up with our full days of training on Monday.
I am loving everything about Japan so far! I am definitely finding the learning curve quite steep with the cultural customs and, of course, the language! I am learning so much already, and just taking it all in.
I won’t write much more for now, I’m sure I will have more adventures to speak of by the end of the training week. I will leave you with a few pictures of the hotel/apartment my roommate and I are staying in, and of me in my business attire today. Enjoy!
