Last night after work I met with Neil Meyer, a guy that has worked with Kawasaki for a long time both here in Kobe and elsewhere. He is a technical translator, and it was interesting to hear about his job and what kind of challenges he has at work. But mainly we discussed stuff like travel, living in Japan, and even the train industry. We ate at an Indian restaurant hidden on a backstreet in Hyogo that I’ve never seen before, and the food was quite good – especially the sag dal.
After dinner we were walking back and saw Gary and Bill drinking at a nearby bar, so we stopped in to say hello. We didn’t stick around to drink, but just talked a little before moving on. The place we found them looked pretty interesting, too. I guess I should explore Hyogo a little more!
Today at the end of my afternoon I’ll be teaching a lesson to the new employees. It is an introductory lesson, with two follow-up lessons next month, and then I’ll teach all of them again beginning in October of this year in group lessons. So it’ll be first impression time for everyone this afternoon. I hope it goes well.
